sched/rt: Fix RT utilization tracking during policy change 

[ Upstream commit fecfcbc288e9f4923f40fd23ca78a6acdc7fdf6c ]

RT keeps track of the utilization on a per-rq basis with the structure
avg_rt. This utilization is updated during task_tick_rt(),
put_prev_task_rt() and set_next_task_rt(). However, when the current
running task changes its policy, set_next_task_rt() which would usually
take care of updating the utilization when the rq starts running RT tasks,
will not see a such change, leaving the avg_rt structure outdated. When
that very same task will be dequeued later, put_prev_task_rt() will then
update the utilization, based on a wrong last_update_time, leading to a
huge spike in the RT utilization signal.

The signal would eventually recover from this issue after few ms. Even if
no RT tasks are run, avg_rt is also updated in __update_blocked_others().
But as the CPU capacity depends partly on the avg_rt, this issue has
nonetheless a significant impact on the scheduler.

Fix this issue by ensuring a load update when a running task changes
its policy to RT.
