Ensure that a CFS parent will be in the list whenever one of its children is also
in the list.
A warning on rq->tmp_alone_branch != &rq->leaf_cfs_rq_list has been
reported while running LTP test cfs_bandwidth01.
Odin Ugedal found the root cause:
$ tree /sys/fs/cgroup/ltp/ -d --charset=ascii
/sys/fs/cgroup/ltp/
|-- drain
`-- test-6851
`-- level2
|-- level3a
| |-- worker1
| `-- worker2
`-- level3b
`-- worker3
Timeline (ish):
- worker3 gets throttled
- level3b is decayed, since it has no more load
- level2 get throttled
- worker3 get unthrottled
- level2 get unthrottled
- worker3 is added to list
- level3b is not added to list, since nr_running==0 and is decayed
[ Vincent Guittot: Rebased and updated to fix for the reported warning. ]

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
