John reported that stress-ng-yield could make his machine unhappy and
managed to bisect it to commit b3d99f43c72b ("sched/fair: Fix
zero_vruntime tracking").

The commit in question changes avg_vruntime() from a function that is
a pure reader, to a function that updates variables. This turns an
unlocked sched/debug usage of this function from a minor mistake into
a data corruptor.

Fixes: af4cf40470c2 ("sched/fair: Add cfs_rq::avg_vruntime")
Fixes: b3d99f43c72b ("sched/fair: Fix zero_vruntime tracking")
