sched: Fix cgroup movement of waking process

There is a small race between try_to_wake_up() and sched_move_task(),
which is trying to move the process being woken up.

    try_to_wake_up() on CPU0       sched_move_task() on CPU1
--------------------------------+---------------------------------
  raw_spin_lock_irqsave(p->pi_lock)
  task_waking_fair()
    ->p.se.vruntime -= cfs_rq->min_vruntime
  ttwu_queue()
    ->send reschedule IPI to CPU1
  raw_spin_unlock_irqsave(p->pi_lock)
                                   task_rq_lock()
                                     -> tring to aquire both p->pi_lock and
                                        rq->lock with IRQ disabled
                                   task_move_group_fair()
                                     -> p.se.vruntime
                                          -= (old)cfs_rq->min_vruntime
                                          += (new)cfs_rq->min_vruntime
                                   task_rq_unlock()

                                   (via IPI)
                                   sched_ttwu_pending()
                                     raw_spin_lock(rq->lock)
                                     ttwu_do_activate()
                                       ...
                                       enqueue_entity()
                                         child.se->vruntime += cfs_rq->min_vruntime
                                     raw_spin_unlock(rq->lock)

As a result, vruntime of the process 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_waking_fair().
