    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
    += (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().
