sched/Documentation: Update sched-design-CFS.txt documentation
2bd2d6f2dc ("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. 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
