Subject: [PATCH v4] sched/fair: combine detach into dequeue when migrating task

When we are migrating task out of the CPU, we can combine detach and
propagation into dequeue_entity() to save the detach_entity_cfs_rq()
-> propagate_entity_cfs_rq() call in detach_entity_cfs_rq() in
migrate_task_rq_fair().

This optimization is like combining DO_ATTACH in the enqueue_entity()
when migrating task to the CPU.

So we don't have to traverse the CFS tree extra time to do the
detach_entity_cfs_rq() -> propagate_entity_cfs_rq() call, which
wouldn't be called anymore with this patch's change.

Copied from Dietmar's much clearer comment:

detach_task()
  deactivate_task()
    dequeue_task_fair()
      for_each_sched_entity(se)
        dequeue_entity()
          update_load_avg() /* (1) */

  set_task_cpu()
    migrate_task_rq_fair()
      /* called detach_entity_cfs_rq() before the patch (2) */

This patch save the propagate_entity_cfs_rq(&p->se) call from (2)
by doing the detach_entity_load_avg(), update_tg_load_avg() for
a migrating task inside (1) (the task being the first se in the loop)

---
v4:
 - change the commit message a little.
 - remove the forward declaration of detach_entity_cfs_rq()
 - remove verbose comments in code.

v3:
 - change to use task_on_rq_migrating() and put Dietmar's much clearer
   description in the commit message. Thanks!

v2:
 - fix !CONFIG_SMP build error
