BACKPORT: sched/fair: Make it possible to account fair load avg consistently

While set_task_rq_fair() is introduced in mainline by commit ad936d8658fd
("sched/fair: Make it possible to account fair load avg consistently"),
the function results to be introduced here by the backport of
commit 09a43ace1f98 ("sched/fair: Propagate load during synchronous
attach/detach"). The problem (apart from the confusion introduced by the
backport) is actually that set_task_rq_fair() is currently not called at
all.

Fix the problem by backporting again commit ad936d8658fd
("sched/fair: Make it possible to account fair load avg consistently").

Original change log:

The current code accounts for the time a task was absent from the fair
class (per ATTACH_AGE_LOAD). However it does not work correctly when a
task got migrated or moved to another cgroup while outside of the fair
class.

This patch tries to address that by aging on migration. We locklessly
read the 'last_update_time' stamp from both the old and new cfs_rq,
ages the load upto the old time, and sets it to the new time.

These timestamps should in general not be more than 1 tick apart from
one another, so there is a definite bound on things.
