sched: Fix race between task_group and sched_task_group
The race may happen when somebody is changing task_group of a forking task.
Child's cgroup is the same as parent's after dup_task_struct() (there just
memory copying). Also, cfs_rq and rt_rq are the same as parent's.
But if parent changes its task_group before it's called cgroup_post_fork(),
we do not reflect this situation on child. Child's cfs_rq and rt_rq remain
the same, while child's task_group changes in cgroup_post_fork().
To fix this we introduce fork() method, which calls sched_move_task() directly.
This function changes sched_task_group on appropriate (also its logic has
no problem with freshly created tasks, so we shouldn't introduce something
special; we are able just to use it).
Possibly, this decides the Burke Libbey's problem: https://lkml.org/lkml/2014/10/24/456
