In __synchronize_entity_decay(), if "decays" happens to be zero, se->avg.decay_count will not be zeroed, holding the positive value assigned when dequeued last time.
This is problematic in the following case: If this runnable task is CFS-balanced to other CPUs soon afterwards, migrate_task_rq_fair() will treat it as a blocked task due to its non-zero decay_count, thereby adding its load to cfs_rq->removed_load wrongly.
Thus, we must zero se->avg.decay_count in this case as well.
