How about tracking cfs_rq's blocked_load_avg instead of
runnable_load_avg, because, AFAICS:

cfs_rq->runnable_load_avg = se->avg.load_avg - cfs_rq->blocked_load_avg.

se is the corresponding sched_entity of cfs_rq. And when we need the
runnable_load_avg, we just calculate by the expression above.

This can be thought as a lazy way to update runnable_load_avg, and we
don't need to modify __update_load_avg any more.

Boqun
