[PATCH] sched/fair: Preserve PLACE_DEADLINE_INITIAL deadline

[Daniel Jordan]

An entity is supposed to get an earlier deadline with
PLACE_DEADLINE_INITIAL when it's forked, but the deadline gets
overwritten soon after in enqueue_entity() the first time a forked
entity is woken so that PLACE_DEADLINE_INITIAL is effectively a no-op.

Placing in task_fork_fair() seems unnecessary since none of the values
that get set (slice, vruntime, deadline) are used before they're set
again at enqueue time, so get rid of that and just pass ENQUEUE_INITIAL
to enqueue_entity() via wake_up_new_task().

Fixes: e8f331bcc270 ("sched/smp: Use lag to simplify cross-runqueue placement")
