Previously with the per-cfs_rq throttling, we use update_curr() -> put() path
to throttle the cfs_rq and dequeue it from the cfs_rq tree.

Now with your per-task throttling, maybe things can become simpler. That we
can just throttle_cfs_rq() (cfs_rq subtree) when curr accouting to mark these
throttled.

Then then if we pick a task from a throttled cfs_rq subtree, we can setup task work
for it, so we don't botter with the delayed_dequeue task case that Prateek mentioned.

WDYT?

Thanks.
