[PATCH v2 2/3] sched/fair: Skip detach and attach new group task

[Yuyang Du <yuyang.du@intel.com>]

Vincent reported that the first task to a new task group's cfs_rq will
be attached in attach_task_cfs_rq() and once more when it is enqueued
(see https://lkml.org/lkml/2016/5/25/388).

Actually, it is worse, attach_task_cfs_rq() is invoked for new task even
way before the new task is initiated in init_entity_runnable_average().

Solve this by avoiding attach as well as detach new task in
task_move_group_fair(). To do it, we need to know whether the task
is forked or not, so we pass this info all the way from sched_move_task()
to attach_task_cfs_rq().
