Subject: [PATCH] sched/fair: Always update_curr() before placing at enqueue

Placing wants current's vruntime and the cfs_rq's min_vruntime up to
date so that avg_runtime() is too, and similarly it wants the entity to
be re-weighted and lag adjusted so vslice and vlag are fresh, so always
do update_curr() and update_cfs_group() beforehand.

There doesn't seem to be a reason to treat the 'curr' case specially
after e8f331bcc270 since vruntime doesn't get normalized anymore.

Fixes: e8f331bcc270 ("sched/smp: Use lag to simplify cross-runqueue placement")

Not sure what the XXX above place_entity() is for, maybe it can go away?

Based on tip/sched/core.
