UPSTREAM: sched/fair: Fix and optimize the fork() path
The task_fork_fair() callback already calls __set_task_cpu() and takes rq->lock. If we move the sched_class::task_fork callback in sched_fork() under the existing p->pi_lock, right after its set_task_cpu() call, we can avoid doing two such calls and omit the IRQ disabling on the rq->lock. Change to __set_task_cpu() to skip the migration bits, this is a new task, not a migration. Similarly, make wake_up_new_task() use __set_task_cpu() for the same reason, the task hasn't actually migrated as it hasn't ever ran. This cures the problem of calling migrate_task_rq_fair(), which does remove_entity_from_load_avg() on tasks that have never been added to the load avg to begin with. This bug would result in transiently messed up load_avg values, averaged out after a few dozen milliseconds. This is probably the reason why this bug was not found for such a long time.
