Daisuke Nishimura 7ceff013c4 sched: Fix cgroup movement of newly created process
There is a small race between do_fork() and sched_move_task(), which is
trying to move the child.

            do_fork()                 sched_move_task()
--------------------------------+---------------------------------
  copy_process()
    sched_fork()
      task_fork_fair()
        -> vruntime of the child is initialized
           based on that of the parent.
  -> we can see the child in "tasks" file now.
                                    task_rq_lock()
                                    task_move_group_fair()
                                      -> child.se.vruntime
                                           -= (old)cfs_rq->min_vruntime
                                           += (new)cfs_rq->min_vruntime
                                    task_rq_unlock()
  wake_up_new_task()
    ...
    enqueue_entity()
      child.se.vruntime += cfs_rq->min_vruntime

As a result, vruntime of the child becomes far bigger than min_vruntime,
if (new)cfs_rq->min_vruntime >> (old)cfs_rq->min_vruntime.

This patch fixes this problem by just ignoring such process in
task_move_group_fair(), because the vruntime has already been normalized in
task_fork_fair().
