sched: fix new task startup crash

Child task may be added on a different cpu that the one on which parent
is running. In which case, task_new_fair() should check whether the new
born task's parent entity should be added as well on the cfs_rq.

Patch below fixes the problem in task_new_fair.

This could fix the put_prev_task_fair() crashes reported.
