se->exec_start is update when the task becomes current.

You can have the sequence:

task TA runs on CPU0
    TA's se->exec_start = xxxx
TA is put back into the rb tree waiting for next slice while another
task is running
CPU1 pulls TA which migrates on CPU1
    migrate_task_rq_fair() w/ TA's se->exec_start == xxxx
        TA's se->exec_start = 0
TA is put into the rb tree of CPU1 waiting to run on CPU1
CPU2 pulls TA which migrates on CPU2
    migrate_task_rq_fair() w/ TA's se->exec_start == 0
        TA's se->exec_start = 0

the vruntime have been updated when enqueued but not exec_start
