sched: maintain only task entities in cfs_rq->tasks list

cfs_rq->tasks list is used by the load balancer to iterate
over all the tasks. Currently it holds all the entities
(both task and group entities) because of which there is
a need to check for group entities explicitly during load
balancing. This patch changes the cfs_rq->tasks list to
hold only task entities.
