sched/fair: Fix switched_to_fair()'s per entity load tracking

Browse Source 
Where switched_from_fair() will remove the entity's load from the
runqueue, switched_to_fair() does not currently add it back. This
means that when a task leaves the fair class for a short duration; say
because of PI; we loose its load contribution.

This can ripple forward and disturb the load tracking because other
operations (enqueue, dequeue) assume its factored in. Only once the
runqueue empties will the load tracking recover.

When we add it back in, age the per entity average to match up with
the runqueue age. This has the obvious problem that if the task leaves
the fair class for a significant time, the load will age to 0.

Employ the normal migration rule for inter-runqueue moves in
task_move_group_fair(). Again, there is the obvious problem of the
task migrating while not in the fair class.

The alternative solution would be to to omit the chunk in
attach_entity_load_avg(), which would effectively reset the timestamp
and use whatever avg there was.
