In the linus tree, the first commit which introduced
__synchronize_entity_decay(&p->se) here is
9ee474f55664ff63111c843099d365e7ecffb56f
+
+#if defined(CONFIG_FAIR_GROUP_SCHED) && defined(CONFIG_SMP)
+       /*
+       * Remove our load from contribution when we leave sched_fair
+       * and ensure we don't carry in an old decay_count if we
+       * switch back.
+       */
+       if (p->se.avg.decay_count) {
+               struct cfs_rq *cfs_rq = cfs_rq_of(&p->se);
+               __synchronize_entity_decay(&p->se);
+               subtract_blocked_load_contrib(cfs_rq,
+                               p->se.avg.load_avg_contrib);
+       }
+#endif
 }

And it is never changed from then on. So your code must based on a
incorrect kernel. please do a double check.
