Its always the case that a task is queued right, never a sched entity?
When a task is queued, the nr_running of every rt_rq in the hierarchy
of sched entities which are parents of this task is incremented by 1.
Similar is with dequeue of a sched_entity. If the sched_entity has
just 1 task on it, then its dequeued from its parent queue and its number
decremented for every rq in the hierarchy. But you would
never dequeue a sched_entity if it has more than 1 task in it. The
granularity of enqueue and dequeue of sched_entities is one task
at a time. You can extend this to enqueue and dequeue of a sched_entity
only if it has just one task in its queue.
