sched/fair: set_load_weight() must also call reweight_task() for SCHED_IDLE tasks
When a task's weight is being changed, set_load_weight() is called with @update_load set. As weight changes aren't trivial for the fair class, set_load_weight() calls fair.c::reweight_task() for fair class tasks. However, set_load_weight() first tests task_has_idle_policy() on entry and skips calling reweight_task() for SCHED_IDLE tasks. This is buggy as SCHED_IDLE tasks are just fair tasks with a very low weight and they would incorrectly skip load, vlag and position updates. Fix it by updating reweight_task() to take struct load_weight as idle weight can't be expressed with prio and making set_load_weight() call reweight_task() for SCHED_IDLE tasks too when @update_load is set.
