Yes, you're right, we can  refer to:

  enqueue_entity()

    ...
    if (renorm && !curr) {
      se->vruntime += cfs_rq->min_vruntime;
    ...

We subtract the credit here on the originating CPU since the long
sleeping task which migrates will go through:

  place_entity()

    else
      se->vruntime = max_vruntime(se->vruntime, vruntime (1));

and not the `if (entity_is_long_sleep(se))` path. And sleeper credit is
also subtracted from vruntime (1) before in place_entity().

IOW, We do the same thing in advance in migrate_task_rq_fair().
For the long sleeping task, se->vruntime is equal to vruntime(1) in place_entity().

Thanks.
