Peter Zijlstra c70fc32f44 sched/fair: Adhere to place_entity() constraints 
Mike reports that commit 6d71a9c616 ("sched/fair: Fix EEVDF entity
placement bug causing scheduling lag") relies on commit 4423af84b2
("sched/fair: optimize the PLACE_LAG when se->vlag is zero") to not
trip a WARN in place_entity().

What happens is that the lag of the very last entity is 0 per
definition -- the average of one element matches the value of that
element. Therefore place_entity() will match the condition skipping
the lag adjustment:

  if (sched_feat(PLACE_LAG) && cfs_rq->nr_queued && se->vlag) {

Without the 'se->vlag' condition -- it will attempt to adjust the zero
lag even though we're inserting into an empty tree.

Notably, we should have failed the 'cfs_rq->nr_queued' condition, but
don't because they didn't get updated.

Additionally, move update_load_add() after placement() as is
consistent with other place_entity() users -- this change is
non-functional, place_entity() does not use cfs_rq->load.

Fixes: 6d71a9c616 ("sched/fair: Fix EEVDF entity placement bug causing scheduling lag")

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
