Hi Ingo, Peter,

Thanks for the patch, Peter. I modified it a bit to compile and
confirmed the issue did not occur on my ia64 box. I am attaching
the revised patch below.

Thanks,

Subject: sched: fair-group: fixup tasks on group move

Tasks would retain their old vruntime when moved between groups, this
can cause funny lags. Re-set the vruntime on group move to fit within
the new tree.
