[PATCH] sched: Fix tg->load when offlining a CPU

From: Vincent Guittot
Date: Thu Dec 21 2023 - 11:40:36 EST


When a CPU taken offline, the contribution of its cfs_rqs to task_groups'
load may remain and impact the calculation of the share of the online
CPUs.
Clear the contribution of an offlining CPU to task groups' load and skip
its contribution while it is inactive.
