sched/fair: Properly deactivate sched_delayed task upon class change

__sched_setscheduler() goes through an enqueue/dequeue cycle like so:

  flags := DEQUEUE_SAVE | DEQUEUE_MOVE | DEQUEUE_NOCLOCK;
  prev_class->dequeue_task(rq, p, flags);
  new_class->enqueue_task(rq, p, flags);

when prev_class := fair_sched_class, this is followed by:

  dequeue_task(rq, p, DEQUEUE_NOCLOCK | DEQUEUE_SLEEP);

the idea being that since the task has switched classes, we need to drop
the sched_delayed logic and have that task be deactivated per its previous
dequeue_task(..., DEQUEUE_SLEEP).

Unfortunately, this leaves the task on_rq. This is missing the tail end of
dequeue_entities() that issues __block_task(), which __sched_setscheduler()
won't have done due to not using DEQUEUE_DELAYED - not that it should, as
it is pretty much a fair_sched_class specific thing.

Make switched_from_fair() properly deactivate sched_delayed tasks upon
class changes via __block_task(), as if a
  dequeue_task(..., DEQUEUE_DELAYED)
had been issued.
