Enabling a disabled task that has passed its execution time causes it to run immediately

[tcosta84]

I realized that when I enable a disabled task that has already passed its execution time, it is execute immediately.
Is that the expected behaviour?

I expected it wouldn't run automatically.
I'd like to use this enable/disable option as a a pause/play feature.

• Celery Version: 4.4.2
• Celery-Beat Version: 1.5.0

Exact steps to reproduce the issue:

1. Create a task to run at a given time (eg: 5pm);
2. Disable it;
3. Minutes later, enable it;
4. The task should run immediately.

How can I avoid the task to run automatically.
