I see, the concurrent RCU traversal is a valid point for the two heads.

What does it mean for SCHED_WARN_ON in __unthrottle_cfs_rq_async()?

IIUC, if the concurrency of cfs_b->throttled_cfs_rq list is
expected (hence I'm not sure about the SCHED_WARN_ON), then it may
happen that __unthrottle_cfs_rq_async is called on cfs_rq that's already
on rq->cfsb_csd_list (there's still rq lock but it's only help inside
cfs_b->throttled_cfs_rq iteration).

Thanks,
Michal
