4.17-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

[ Upstream commit 3482d98bbc730758b63a5d1cf41d05ea17481412 ]
When a cfs_rq is throttled, parent cfs_rq->nr_running is decreased and everything happens at cfs_rq level. Currently util_est stays unchanged in such case and it keeps accounting the utilization of throttled tasks. This can somewhat make sense as we don't dequeue tasks but only throttled cfs_rq.
If a task of another group is enqueued/dequeued and root cfs_rq becomes idle during the dequeue, util_est will be cleared whereas it was accounting util_est of throttled tasks before. So the behavior of util_est is not always the same regarding throttled tasks and depends of side activity. Furthermore, util_est will not be updated when the cfs_rq is unthrottled as everything happens at cfs_rq level. Main results is that util_est will stay null whereas we now have running tasks. We have to wait for the next dequeue/enqueue of the previously throttled tasks to get an up to date util_est.
Remove the assumption that cfs_rq's estimated utilization of a CPU is 0 if there is no running task so the util_est of a task remains until the latter is dequeued even if its cfs_rq has been throttled.
