Subject[PATCH v2] sched/fair: Sync task util before slow-path wakeup
Date
We use task_util in find_idlest_group via capacity_spare_wake. This
task_util is updated in wake_cap. However wake_cap is not the only
reason for ending up in find_idlest_group - we could have been sent
there by wake_wide. So explicitly sync the task util with prev_cpu
when we are about to head to find_idlest_group.

We could simply do this at the beginning of
select_task_rq_fair (i.e. irrespective of whether we're heading to
select_idle_sibling or find_idlest_group & co), but I didn't want to
slow down the select_idle_sibling path more than necessary.

Don't do this during fork balancing, we won't need the task_util and
we'd just clobber the last_update_time, which is supposed to be 0.
