Subject: [PATCH] sched: ensure a task has a non-normalized vruntime when returning back to cfs

From: Byungchul Park <byungchul.park@....com>

current code ensures a task has a normalized vruntime when switching off
from fair class, but it does not ensure the task has a non-normalized
vruntime when switching back to the fair class.

this is an example breaking this consistency.

1. a task is in fair class and !queue
2. change its class to rt class (still !queue)
3. change its class to fair class again (stll !queue)
