here, when the task enqueue to cfs_rq.
avg.decay_count == 0, so the last line will reset last_runnable_update.

Anyway, you may consider to add a comment in the function, since it is bit hard
to understand for you.

/* Add the load generated by se into cfs_rq's child load-average */
static inline void enqueue_entity_load_avg(struct cfs_rq *cfs_rq,
struct sched_entity *se,
int wakeup)
{
/*
* We track migrations using entity decay_count <= 0, on a wake-up
* migration we use a negative decay count to track the remote decays
* accumulated while sleeping.
*/
if (unlikely(se->avg.decay_count <= 0)) {
se->avg.last_runnable_update = rq_of(cfs_rq)->clock_task;
