Subject: [PATCH next 2/2] sched: Fix sched_child_runs_first

There are two cases that the sched_child_runs_first maybe not
work fine:
1) when call clone3() with CLONE_INTO_CGROUP flags, will creating
the child task into a cgroup different from the parent's cgroup,
so that child and parent's cfs_rq is diffent.
2) Assign a different cpu to the new task when fork balancing.

Above two case, the child and the parent will attach to different
cpu and cfs_rq. At this time, we can't swap the child and parent's
vruntime, and i think only do swap vruntime when the parent and
child in the same cfs_rq. This patch will add the cfs_rq check
before swap vruntime.
