sleep_start is not for iowait. This is for idle. And I know no other way
to collect idle time per cgroup, other than the time during which it was
out of the runqueue.
Now what you say about the sleepers don't make that much sense for idle
because this information is per-cpu as well.
When the se is being dequeued, it means none of its children is running
on that runqueue. That's idle.
