Subject: [PATCH] sched/fair: avoid vruntime compensation for SCHED_IDLE task

From: Jiang Biao <benbjiang@...cent.com>

Vruntime compensation has been down in place_entity() to
boot the waking procedure for fair tasks. There is no need to
do that for SCHED_IDLE task actually.

Not compensating vruntime for SCHED_IDLE task could make
SCHED_IDLE task more harmless for normal tasks.
