[PATCH v5 3/7] sched: set initial value of runnable avg for new forked task

[Alex Shi <alex.shi@intel.com>]

We need initialize the se.avg.{decay_count, load_avg_contrib} for a
new forked task.
Otherwise random values of above variables cause mess when do new task
enqueue:
    enqueue_task_fair
        enqueue_entity
            enqueue_entity_load_avg

and make forking balancing imbalance since incorrect load_avg_contrib.

set avg.decay_count = 0, and avg.load_avg_contrib = se->load.weight to
resolve such issues.
