sched: fair scheduler should not resched rt tasks 



With use of ftrace Steven noticed that some RT tasks got rescheduled due
to sched_fair interaction.

What happens is that we reprogram the hrtick from enqueue/dequeue_fair_task()
because that can change nr_running, and thus a current tasks ideal runtime.
However, its possible the current task isn't a fair_sched_class task, and thus
doesn't have a hrtick set to change.

Fix this by wrapping those hrtick_start_fair() calls in a hrtick_update()
function, which will check for the right conditions.
