[PATCH] sched: prevent getting too much vruntime

[<byungchul.park@lge.com>]

From: Byungchul Park <byungchul.park@lge.com>

Especially in the case below, se->vruntime can be too large and
scheduling cannot work properly.

1. set se->vruntime to "cfs_rq->min_vruntime - sysctl_sched_latency" in
   place_entity() when detaching the se from cfs_rq.
2. do a normalization by "se->vruntime -= cfs_rq->min_vruntime".
   (see detach_task_cfs_rq().)
3. do "se->vruntime += cfs_rq->min_vruntime", when attaching the se to
   a cfs_rq where cfs_rq->min_vruntime < sysctl_sched_latency.

In this case, se->vruntime is suppose to be a negative value, but
actually it is a too large value because vruntime is a unsigned type.
It's wrong. To avoid this situation, this patch takes the case into
account.
