Exactly, I can improve the changelog.

It's a little different, e.g. periods like below:
Pm | v |-----|-----| Pn-1 Pn Pn+1
Assuming we start_cfs_bandwidth() at some moment Pm between "Pn" and "Pn+1", cfs_b->runtime_expires we want here should be "Pn+1", while __refill_cfs_bandwidth_runtime() forces it to be "Pm+period"(hrtimer expires at "Pn+1").
