sched: Fix 32bit race

Browse Source 
Commit 3fe1698b7fe0 ("sched: Deal with non-atomic min_vruntime reads
on 32bit") forgot to initialize min_vruntime_copy which could lead to
an infinite while loop in task_waking_fair() under some circumstances
(early boot, lucky timing).

[ This bug was also reported by others that blamed it on the RCU
  initialization problems ]
