Subject: [PATCH 5/8] sched/fair: fix load tracking for new forked !fair task

New forked !fair task will set its sched_avg last_update_time to
the pelt_clock of cfs_rq, after a while in switched_to_fair():

switched_to_fair
  attach_task_cfs_rq
    attach_entity_cfs_rq
      update_load_avg
        __update_load_avg_se(now, cfs_rq, se)

the delta (now - sa->last_update_time) will contribute/decay sched_avg
depends on the task running/runnable status at that time.

This patch don't set sched_avg last_update_time of new forked !fair
task, leave it to 0. So later in update_load_avg(), we don't need to
contribute/decay the wrong delta (now - sa->last_update_time).
