sched/fair: Fix update_cfs_group() vs DELAY_DEQUEUE
Normally dequeue_entities() will continue to dequeue an empty group entity;
except DELAY_DEQUEUE changes things -- it retains empty entities such that they
might continue to compete and burn off some lag.
However, doing this results in update_cfs_group() re-computing the cgroup
weight 'slice' for an empty group, which it (rightly) figures isn't much at
all. This in turn means that the delayed entity is not competing at the
expected weight. Worse, the very low weight causes its lag to be inflated,
which combined with avg_vruntime() using scale_load_down(), leads to artifacts.
As such, don't adjust the weight for empty group entities and let them compete
at their original weight.
