sched: Reduce contention in update_cfs_rq_blocked_load()
When running workloads on 2+ socket systems, based on perf profiles, the update_cfs_rq_blocked_load() function often shows up as taking up a noticeable % of run time. Much of the contention is in __update_cfs_rq_tg_load_contrib() when we update the tg load contribution stats. However, it turns out that in many cases, they don't need to be updated and "tg_contrib" is 0. This patch adds a check in __update_cfs_rq_tg_load_contrib() to skip updating tg load contribution stats when nothing needs to be updated. This reduces the cacheline contention that would be unnecessary.
