nr_spread_over tracks the number of instances where the difference
between a scheduling entity's virtual runtime and the minimum virtual
runtime in the runqueue exceeds three times the scheduler latency,
indicating significant disparity in task scheduling.  
Commit that removed its usage: 5e963f2bd: sched/fair: Commit to EEVDF


cfs_rq->exec_clock was used to account for time spent executing tasks.
