This is a little bit hard to read, how about something like this?

The sched_stat_wait tracepoint is showing unreasonably long
latencies for real-time tasks. For example:

sched_stat_wait: comm=rcu_preempt pid=14 delay=4936139545261 [ns]

This error happens when the rt task balances off the source CPU because
the dequeue operation is not updating the sched_statistics. So, follow
update_stats_wait_end_fair() and update the stats. Do the same for
SCHED_DEADLINE.

make this a single line comment.
