Mike reports that commit
6d71a9c61604 ("sched/fair: Fix EEVDF entity
placement bug causing scheduling lag") relies on commit
4423af84b297
("sched/fair: optimize the PLACE_LAG when se->vlag is zero") to not
trip a WARN in place_entity().
What happens is that the lag of the very last entity is 0 per
definition -- the average of one element matches the value of that
element. Therefore place_entity() will match the condition skipping
the lag adjustment:
if (sched_feat(PLACE_LAG) && cfs_rq->nr_queued && se->vlag) {
Without the 'se->vlag' condition -- it will attempt to adjust the zero
lag even though we're inserting into an empty tree.
Notably, we should have failed the 'cfs_rq->nr_queued' condition, but
don't because they didn't get updated.
Additionally, move update_load_add() after placement() as is
consistent with other place_entity() users -- this change is
non-functional, place_entity() does not use cfs_rq->load.
