So we take the cgroup offline

Remove our cfs_rq from the list

And stuff it back on again -> *FAIL*

Hmm, that is most unfortunate indeed.

Can you describe a reliable reproducer?

So we only call list_add_leaf_cfs_rq() through enqueue_task_fair(),
which means someone is still running inside that cgroup.

TJ, I thought we only call offline when the cgroup is empty, don't we?
