The difference is in the calling convention. If you look at the
callsite:

	set_user_nice()
	  set_load_weight()
	    reweight_task()

You'll see that ->on_rq will always be false. That said, I think you're
right in that we're missing a se->runnable_weight update, because while
__update_load_avg*() doesn't use it (and will in fact (re)set it), there
are other users that could come before that.
