sched: Fix double normalization of vruntime 

dequeue_entity() is called when p->on_rq and sets se->on_rq = 0
which appears to guarentee that the !se->on_rq condition is met.
If the task has done set_current_state(TASK_INTERRUPTIBLE) without
schedule() the second condition will be met and vruntime will be
incorrectly adjusted twice.

In certain cases this can result in the task's vruntime never increasing
past the vruntime of other tasks on the CFS' run queue, starving them of
CPU time.

This patch changes switched_from_fair() to use !p->on_rq instead of
!se->on_rq.

I'm able to cause a task with a priority of 120 to starve all other
tasks with the same priority on an ARM platform running 3.2.51-rt72
PREEMPT RT by writing one character at time to a serial tty (16550 UART)
in a tight loop. I'm also able to verify making this change corrects the
problem on that platform and kernel version.
