[patch v5 02/15] sched: set initial load avg of new forked task

[Alex Shi]

New task has no runnable sum at its first runnable time, so its
runnable load is zero. That makes burst forking balancing just select
few idle cpus to assign tasks if we engage runnable load in balancing.

Set initial load avg of new forked task as its load weight to resolve
this issue.
