Subject: [PATCH 7/8] sched/fair: delete superfluous set_task_rq_fair()

set_task_rq() is used when move task across CPUs/groups to change
its cfs_rq and parent entity, and it will call set_task_rq_fair()
to sync blocked task load_avg just before change its cfs_rq.

1. task migrate CPU: will detach/remove from prev cfs_rq and reset
   its sched_avg last_update_time to 0, so don't need to sync again.

2. task migrate cgroup: will detach from prev cfs_rq and reset its
   sched_avg last_update_time to 0, so don't need to sync too.

3. !fair task migrate CPU/cgroup: we stop load tracking for !fair task,
   reset sched_avg last_update_time to 0 when switched_from_fair(), so
   don't need it too.

So set_task_rq_fair() is not needed anymore, this patch delete it.
