sched: Fix update_cfs_load() synchronization
Using cfs_rq->nr_running is not sufficient to synchronize update_cfs_load with the put path since nr_running accounting occurs at deactivation. It's also not safe to make the removal decision based on load_avg as this fails with both high periods and low shares. Resolve this by clipping history after 4 periods without activity. Note: the above will always occur from update_shares() since in the last-task-sleep-case that task will still be cfs_rq->curr when update_cfs_load is called.
