sched/fair: Fix PELT integrity for new groups

Vincent reported that when a new task is moved into a new cgroup it
gets attached twice to the load tracking:

  sched_move_task()
    task_move_group_fair()
      detach_task_cfs_rq()
      set_task_rq()
      attach_task_cfs_rq()
        attach_entity_load_avg()
          se->avg.last_load_update = cfs_rq->avg.last_load_update // == 0

  enqueue_entity()
    enqueue_entity_load_avg()
      update_cfs_rq_load_avg()
        now = clock()
        __update_load_avg(&cfs_rq->avg)
          cfs_rq->avg.last_load_update = now
          // ages load/util for: now - 0, load/util -> 0
      if (migrated)
        attach_entity_load_avg()
          se->avg.last_load_update = cfs_rq->avg.last_load_update; // now != 0

The problem is that we don't update cfs_rq load_avg before all
entity attach/detach operations. Only enqueue_task() and migrate_task()
do this.

By fixing this, the above will not happen, because the
sched_move_task() attach will have updated cfs_rq's last_load_update
time before attach, and in turn the attach will have set the entity's
last_load_update stamp.

Note that there is a further problem with sched_move_task() calling
detach on a task that hasn't yet been attached; this will be taken
care of in a subsequent patch.
