sched/fair: Ensure _sum and _avg values stay consistent
The _sum and _avg values are in general sync together with the PELT divider. They are however not always completely in perfect sync, resulting in situations where _sum gets to zero while _avg stays positive. Such situations are undesirable. This comes from the fact that PELT will increase period_contrib, also increasing the PELT divider, without updating _sum and _avg values to stay in perfect sync where (_sum == _avg * divider). However, such PELT change will never lower _sum, making it impossible to end up in a situation where _sum is zero and _avg is not. Therefore, we need to ensure that when subtracting load outside PELT, that when _sum is zero, _avg is also set to zero. This occurs when (_sum < _avg * divider), and the subtracted (_avg * divider) is bigger or equal to the current _sum, while the subtracted _avg is smaller than the current _avg.
