sched/fair: Fix the dealing with decay_count in __synchronize_entity_decay()
In __synchronize_entity_decay(), if "decays" happens to be zero,
se->avg.decay_count will not be zeroed, holding the positive value
assigned when dequeued last time.
This is problematic in the following case:
If this runnable task is CFS-balanced to other CPUs soon afterwards,
migrate_task_rq_fair() will treat it as a blocked task due to its
non-zero decay_count, thereby adding its load to cfs_rq->removed_load
wrongly.
Thus, we must zero se->avg.decay_count in this case as well.
