Tianchen Ding d6962c4fe8 sched: Clear ttwu_pending after enqueue_task() 
We found a long tail latency in schbench whem m*t is close to nr_cpus.
(e.g., "schbench -m 2 -t 16" on a machine with 32 cpus.)

This is because when the wakee cpu is idle, rq->ttwu_pending is cleared
too early, and idle_cpu() will return true until the wakee task enqueued.
This will mislead the waker when selecting idle cpu, and wake multiple
worker threads on the same wakee cpu. This situation is enlarged by
commit f3dd3f6745 ("sched: Remove the limitation of WF_ON_CPU on
wakelist if wakee cpu is idle") because it tends to use wakelist.

Here is the result of "schbench -m 2 -t 16" on a VM with 32vcpu
(Intel(R) Xeon(R) Platinum 8369B).

We also tested on unixbench and hackbench, and saw no performance
change.

README 

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
