sched: Don't update shares twice on on_rq parent

In dequeue_task_fair() we bail on dequeue when we encounter a parenting entity
with additional weight.  However, we perform a double shares update on this
entity as we continue the shares update traversal from this point, despite
dequeue_entity() having already updated its queuing cfs_rq.
Avoid this by starting from the parent when we resume.
