sched/fair: Update util_est after updating util_avg during dequeue

util_est_update() must be called after updating util_avg during the dequeue
of a task and only when the task is not delayed dequeue.

Move util_est_update() in update_load_avg().

Fixes: b55945c500 ("sched: Fix pick_next_task_fair() vs try_to_wake_up() race")
