[PATCH] sched/fair: Fix that tasks are not constrained by cfs_b->quota on hotplug core, when hotplug core is offline and then online.

In case that CONFIG_HOTPLUG_CPU and CONFIG_CFS_BANDWIDTH is turned on and tasks in bandwidth controlled task group run on hotplug core, the tasks are not controlled by cfs_b->quota when hotplug core is offline and then online. The remaining tasks in task group consume all of cfs_b->quota on other cores.

The cause of this problem is described as below;

1. When hotplug core is offline while tasks in task group run on hotplug core, unregister_fair_sched_group() deletes leaf_cfs_rq_list of tg->cfs_rq[cpu] from &rq_of(cfs_rq)->leaf_cfs_rq_list.

2. Then, when hotplug core is online, update_runtime_enabled() registers cfs_b->quota on cfs_rq->runtime_enabled of all leaf cfs_rq on runqueue. However, because this is before enqueue_entity() adds &cfs_rq->leaf_cfs_rq_list on &rq_of(cfs_rq)->leaf_cfs_rq_list, cfs->quota is not register on cfs_rq->runtime_enabled.

To resolve this problem, this patch registers cfs_b->quota on cfs_rq->runtime_enabled after list_add_leaf_cfs_rq() for every enqueue_entity().
