[PATCH v2 1/8] sched/fair: Update affine statistics when needed

From: Srikar Dronamraju
Date: Thu May 06 2021 - 12:46:23 EST


wake_affine_idle() can return prev_cpu. Even in such a scenario,
scheduler was going ahead and updating schedstats related to wake
affine. i.e even if the task is not moved across LLC domains,
schedstats would have accounted.

Hence add a check before updating schedstats.
