[RFCv4 PATCH 12/34] sched: Initialize CFS task load and usage before placing task on rq

[Morten Rasmussen]

Task load or usage is not currently considered in select_task_rq_fair(),
but if we want that in the future we should make sure it is not zero for
new tasks.

The load-tracking sums are currently initialized using sched_slice(),
that won't work before the task has been assigned a rq. Initialization
is therefore changed to another semi-arbitrary value, sched_latency,
instead.
