sched/fair: Fix inaccurate h_nr_runnable accounting with delayed dequeue

set_delayed() adjusts cfs_rq->h_nr_runnable for the hierarchy when an
entity is delayed irrespective of whether the entity corresponds to a
task or a cfs_rq.

Consider the following scenario:

	root
       /    \
      A	     B (*) delayed since B is no longer eligible on root
      |	     |
    Task0  Task1 <--- dequeue_task_fair() - task blocks

When Task1 blocks (dequeue_entity() for task's se returns true),
dequeue_entities() will continue adjusting cfs_rq->h_nr_* for the
hierarchy of Task1. However, when the sched_entity corresponding to
cfs_rq B is delayed, set_delayed() will adjust the h_nr_runnable for the
hierarchy too leading to both dequeue_entity() and set_delayed()
decrementing h_nr_runnable for the dequeue of the same task.

A SCHED_WARN_ON() to inspect h_nr_runnable post its update in
dequeue_entities() like below:

    cfs_rq->h_nr_runnable -= h_nr_runnable;
    SCHED_WARN_ON(((int) cfs_rq->h_nr_runnable) < 0);

is consistently tripped when running wakeup intensive workloads like
hackbench in a cgroup.

This error is self correcting since cfs_rq are per-cpu and cannot
migrate. The entitiy is either picked for full dequeue or is requeued
when a task wakes up below it. Both those paths call clear_delayed()
which again increments h_nr_runnable of the hierarchy without
considering if the entity corresponds to a task or not.

h_nr_runnable will eventually reflect the correct value however in the
interim, the incorrect values can still influence PELT calculation which
uses se->runnable_weight or cfs_rq->h_nr_runnable.

Since only delayed tasks take the early return path in
dequeue_entities() and enqueue_task_fair(), adjust the
h_nr_runnable in {set,clear}_delayed() only when a task is delayed as
this path skips the h_nr_* update loops and returns early.

For entities corresponding to cfs_rq, the h_nr_* update loop in the
caller will do the right thing.
