sched/fair: Update util_est before updating schedutil

Browse Source 
When a task is enqueued the estimated utilization of a CPU is updated
to better support the selection of the required frequency.

However, schedutil is (implicitly) updated by update_load_avg() which
always happens before util_est_{en,de}queue(), thus potentially
introducing a latency between estimated utilization updates and
frequency selections.

Let's update util_est at the beginning of enqueue_task_fair(),
which will ensure that all schedutil updates will see the most
updated estimated utilization value for a CPU.
