Subject: [PATCH v5 0/5] sched/fair: Fix attach and detach sched avgs for task group change and sched class change

Hi Peter,

The attach/detach twice problem is worse than Vincent reported.

The attach twice issue can happen not only as Vincent raised when task moves
between groups, but also when switching to fair class. In addition, for newly
forked task, the detach also has a problem. This patchset attempts to address
all of those problems.

Thanks a lot to Vincent and Peter. This new version addresses their comments to
reword the changelog and comments. Also thanks to Matt for the suggestion to
fix the newly forked task's detach problem easier.

Thanks,
Yuyang
