A) Running/Runnable
- uses last_runnable_update to track
runnable_avg_sum, usage_avg_sum and runnable_avg_period

B) Blocked
- uses decay_count to keep track of sleeptime

C) 'Migrate'
- uses contributes_blocked_load to check if we actually did migrate?

So there's a number of things I don't get, why have
remove_task_load_avg_async() in set_task_rq()? enqueue_entity_load_avg()
can do the __synchronize_entity_decay() thing (and actually does) just
fine, right?

Similarly, why not use last_runnable_update (as last_update) to track
both A and B since a task cannot be in both states at the same time
anyway. If you always update the timestamp you can use it to either
track runnable/usage or decay for sleep.

That would get rid of decay_count and contributes_blocked_load, no?
