2bd2d6f ("sched: Replace use of entity_key()") had remove the
entity_key() which function is to subtract a tasks vruntime by
its groups minvruntime as the rbtree key.
The phrase "there is a subtraction using rq->cfs.min_vruntime
to account for possible wraparounds" in documentation feels strange
and meaningless. So remove it.

CFS maintains a time-ordered rbtree, where all runnable tasks are sorted by the
p->se.vruntime key (there is a subtraction using rq->cfs.min_vruntime to
account for possible wraparounds). CFS picks the "leftmost" task from this
tree and sticks to it.
p->se.vruntime key. CFS picks the "leftmost" task from this tree and sticks to it.
As the system progresses forwards, the executed tasks are put into the tree
more and more to the right --- slowly but surely giving a chance for every task
to become the "leftmost task" and thus get on the CPU within a deterministic
