Why not doing the assignment (like in update_tg_cfs_load()) after the
next condition? Same question for update_tg_cfs_runnable().

We know have 6 assignments like this in fair.c and 1 in pelt.c. Could
this not be refactored by using something like this in pelt.h:
+static inline u32 get_divider(struct sched_avg *avg)
+{
+ return LOAD_AVG_MAX - 1024 + avg->period_contrib;
+}

Isn't this rather '~' instead of '==', even for y^32 = 0.5 ?
47742 * 0.5^(1/32) ~ 47742 - 1024
Apart from that, LGTM
