sched: update correct entity's runtime in check_preempt_wakeup()
While looking at check_preempt_wakeup() I realized that we are potentially updating the wrong entity in the fair-group scheduling case. In this case the current task's cfs_rq may not be the same as the one used for the comparison between the waking task and the existing task's vruntime. This potentially results in us using a stale vruntime in the pre-emption decision, providing a small false preference for the previous task. The effects of this are bounded since we always perform a hierarchal update on the tick.
