thanks for comments!
the new patch attached, hope it is your liked this time. :)

Subject: [PATCH 3/7] sched: set initial value of runnable avg for new forked
task
We need initialize the se.avg.{decay_count, load_avg_contrib} for a
new forked task.
Otherwise random values of above variables cause mess when do new task
enqueue:
enqueue_task_fair
enqueue_entity
enqueue_entity_load_avg
and make forking balancing imbalance since incorrect load_avg_contrib.
Further more, Morten Rasmussen notice some tasks were not launched at
once after created. So Paul and Peter suggest giving a start value for
new task runnable avg time same as sched_slice().
