Why do you change this here? task_se_h_load() calls
update_cfs_rq_h_load() with cfs_rq = group_cfs_rq_of_parent(se) because
the task might not be on the cfs_rq yet.

But inside update_cfs_rq_h_load() the first se is derived from
cfs_rq->tg->se[cpu_of(rq)] so in the first for_each_sched_entity() loop
we should still start with group_cfs_rq() (se->my_q) ?

The system doesn't barf with these two WARN_ON's in.
