The first time: "once when attaching the task to the group".

That attaching is purely wrong, but will not have any effect (at least
load/util wise), because the task will later be inited in
init_entity_runnable_average().

The second time: "one more time when enqueueing the task".

In enqueue_entity_load_avg(), your patch will not have any effect either,
because of the above overwriting the new task's load in
init_entity_runnable_average(), no?
