[PATCH] sched/fair: Remove setting task's se->runnable_weight during PELT update

[Dietmar Eggemann]

A CFS (SCHED_OTHER, SCHED_BATCH or SCHED_IDLE policy) task's
se->runnable_weight must always be in sync with its se->load.weight.

se->runnable_weight is set to se->load.weight when the task is
forked (init_entity_runnable_average()) or reniced (reweight_entity()).

There are two cases in set_load_weight() which since they currently only
set se->load.weight could lead to a situation in which se->load.weight
is different to se->runnable_weight for a CFS task:

(1) A task switches to SCHED_IDLE.

(2) A SCHED_FIFO, SCHED_RR or SCHED_DEADLINE task which has been reniced
    (during which only its static priority gets set) switches to
    SCHED_OTHER or SCHED_BATCH.

Set se->runnable_weight to se->load.weight in these two cases to prevent
this. This eliminates the need to explicitly set it to se->load.weight
during PELT updates in the CFS scheduler fastpath.
