Exactly, I can improve the changelog.

It's a little different, e.g. periods like below:

           Pm
           |
           v
  |-----|-----|
Pn-1   Pn    Pn+1

Assuming we start_cfs_bandwidth() at some moment Pm between "Pn" and
"Pn+1", cfs_b->runtime_expires we want here should be "Pn+1", while
__refill_cfs_bandwidth_runtime() forces it to be "Pm+period"(hrtimer
expires at "Pn+1").
