sched: Ensure a task has a non-normalized vruntime when returning back to CFS

Current code ensures that a task has a normalized vruntime when switching away
from the fair class, but it does not ensure the task has a non-normalized
vruntime when switching back to the fair class.

This is an example breaking this consistency:

1. a task is in fair class and !queued
2. changes its class to RT class (still !queued)
3. changes its class to fair class again (still !queued)
