From: Luca Abeni <luca.ab...@santannapisa.it>

When switching to -deadline, if the scheduling deadline of a task is
in the past then switched_to_dl() calls setup_new_entity() to properly
initialize the scheduling deadline and runtime.

The problem is that the task is enqueued _before_ having its parameters
initialized by setup_new_entity(), and this can cause problems.
For example, a task with its out-of-date deadline in the past will
potentially be enqueued as the highest priority one; however, its
adjusted deadline may not be the earliest one.

This patch fixes the problem by initializing the task's parameters before
enqueuing it.
