Subject[PATCH 1/3] 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
->child.se.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().
