Subject: [PATCH -tip 11/32] sched: Enqueue task into core queue only after vruntime is updated

A waking task may have its vruntime adjusted. However, the code right
now puts it into the core queue without the adjustment. This means the
core queue may have a task with incorrect vruntime, potentially a very
long one. This may cause a task to get artificially boosted during
picking.

Fix it by enqueuing into the core queue only after the class-specific
enqueue callback has been called. This ensures that for CFS tasks, the
updated vruntime value is used when enqueuing the task into the core
rbtree.
