So, something like the following. Xie, can you see whether the
following patch resolves the problem?

diff --git a/kernel/sched/fair.c b/kernel/sched/fair.c

- if (cfs_rq_is_decayed(cfs_rq))
+ if (cfs_rq_is_decayed(cfs_rq) &&
+ rq->tmp_alone_branch == &rq->leaf_cfs_rq_list)
list_del_leaf_cfs_rq(cfs_rq);

/* Don't need periodic decay once load/util_avg are null */
