sched/fair: Align PELT windows between cfs_rq and its se The PELT _sum values are a saw-tooth function, dropping on the decay edge and then growing back up again during the window. When these window-edges are not aligned between cfs_rq and se, we can have the situation where, for example, on dequeue, the se decays first. Its _sum values will be small(er), while the cfs_rq _sum values will still be on their way up. Because of this, the subtraction: cfs_rq->avg._sum -= se->avg._sum will result in a positive value. This will then, once the cfs_rq reaches an edge, translate into its _avg value jumping up. This is especially visible with the runnable_load bits, since they get added/subtracted a lot.
