sched: more accurate min_vruntime accounting



Mike noticed the current min_vruntime tracking can go wrong and skip the
current task. If the only remaining task in the tree is a nice 19 task
with huge vruntime, new tasks will be inserted too far to the right too,
causing some interactibity issues.

min_vruntime can only change due to the leftmost entry disappearing
(dequeue_entity()), or by the leftmost entry being incremented past the
next entry, which elects a new leftmost (__update_curr())

Due to the current entry not being part of the actual tree, we have to
compare the leftmost tree entry with the current entry, and take the
leftmost of these two.

So create a update_min_vruntime() function that takes computes the
leftmost vruntime in the system (either tree of current) and increases
the cfs_rq->min_vruntime if the computed value is larger than the
previously found min_vruntime. And call this from the two sites we've
identified that can change min_vruntime.
