PATCH 1/1 sched/debug: Fix avg_vruntime() usage

From: Peter Zijlstra <[email protected]>

commit e08d007f9d813616ce7093600bc4fdb9c9d81d89 upstream.

John reported that stress-ng-yield could make his machine unhappy and managed to bisect it to commit b3d99f43c72b ("sched/fair: Fix zero_vruntime tracking").

The commit in question changes avg_vruntime() from a function that is a pure reader, to a function that updates variables. This turns an unlocked sched/debug usage of this function from a minor mistake into a data corruptor.

Fixes af4cf40470c2 ("sched/fair: Add cfs_rq::avg_vruntime")
Fixes b3d99f43c72b ("sched/fair: Fix zero_vruntime tracking")
