sched: fix update_min_vruntime
Impact: fix SCHED_IDLE latency problems OK, so we have 1 running task A (which is obviously curr and the tree is equally obviously empty). 'A' nicely chugs along, doing its thing, carrying min_vruntime along as it goes. Then some whacko speed freak SCHED_IDLE task gets inserted due to SMP balancing, which is very likely far right, in that case update_curr update_min_vruntime cfs_rq->rb_leftmost := true (the crazy task sitting in a tree) vruntime = se->vruntime and voila, min_vruntime is waaay right of where it ought to be. OK, so why did I write it like that to begin with... Aah, yes. Say we've just dequeued current schedule deactivate_task(prev) dequeue_entity update_min_vruntime Then we'll set vruntime = cfs_rq->min_vruntime; we find !cfs_rq->curr, but do find someone in the tree. Then we _must_ do vruntime = se->vruntime, because vruntime = min_vruntime(vruntime := cfs_rq->min_vruntime, se->vruntime) will not advance vruntime, and cause lags the other way around (which we fixed with that initial patch: 1af5f730fc1bf7c62ec9fb2d307206e18bf40a69 (sched: more accurate min_vruntime accounting).
