Thanks for taking a look!

This might however lead to "loss" at /slice/cg-2/sub and
slice/cg-1/sub in this particular case tho, since
propagate_entity_cfs_rq skips one cfs_rq
by taking the parent of the provided se. The loss in that case would
however not be equally big, but will still often contribute to some
unfairness.


Thanks
