Hmmm... sorry but I'm a bit confused again. Isn't the code doing the same
thing before and after?

Before, if @p is SCHED_IDLE, @p->se.load is set to idle values and the
function returns. If @update_load && fair, calls reweight_task(). Otherwise,
update @p->se.load is updated according to @prio. After the patch, @weight
and @inv_weight calcuations are moved to set_load_weight() but it ends up
with the same result for all three cases.

Were you trying to say that if the idle policy were to implement
->reweight_task(), it wouldn't be called?

Thanks.
