From: Quentin Perret <qperret@xxxxxxxxxx> commit 8e1ac4299a6e8726de42310d9c1379f188140c71 upstream. enqueue_task_fair() attempts to skip the overutilized update for new tasks as their util_avg is not accurate yet. However, the flag we check to do so is overwritten earlier on in the function, which makes the condition pretty much a nop. Fix this by saving the flag early on.
