As the following 2 lines indicates that vhost-2920 is on_rq so can be
picked as next, thus its cfs_rq must have at least one entity.

While the above 4 lines shows nr=0, so the "comm= pid=0" task(s) can't
be in the same cgroup with vhost-2920.

Say vhost is in cgroupA, and "comm= pid=0" task with sev=86640641980
is in cgroupB ...

Here nr=1 means there is another entity in the same cfs_rq with the
newly woken kworker, but which? According to the vruntime, I would
assume kworker is in cgroupB.
