I found another problem, when the sched_schedstat changes from 1 to 0,
the sched se
which is already in the runqueue, the statistics.wait_start already
has a value. At this moment
sched_schedstat changes from 0 to 1 again, the (rq_of(cfs_rq)) -
se->statistics.wait_start)
will not be 0 and the wait time will be bigger than the real one. So
we need to modify the  patch
to resolve the problem with this scenario.

So I really need a full audit might, ：-)
