Removing a cfs_rq from rq->leaf_cfs_rq_list can break the parent/child ordering of the list when it will be added back. In order to remove an empty and fully decayed cfs_rq, we must remove its children too so they will be added back in the right order next time.
With a normal decay of pelt, a parent will be empty and fully decayed if all children are empty and fully decayed too. In such a case, we just have to ensure that the whole branch will be added when a new task is enqueued. This is default behavior since : commit f6783319737f ("sched/fair: Fix insertion in rq->leaf_cfs_rq_list")
In case of throttling, the pelt of throttled cfs_rq will not be updated whereas the parent will. This breaks the assumption made above unless we remove the children of a cfs_rq that is throttled. Then, they will be added back when unthrottled and a sched_entity will be enqueued.
As throttled cfs_rq are now removed from the list, we can remove the associated test in update_blocked_averages().
