Fix a bug introduced in 72f9f3fdc928dc3ecd223e801b32d930b662b6ed: after that commit, 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 For example, a task with its out-of-date deadline in the past will potentially be enqueued as the highest priority one; however, its adjusted deadline may not be the earliest one.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.
