sched: Fix a race between ttwu() and migrate_task()
Based on commit e2912009fb7b715728311b0d8fe327a1432b3f79 upstream, but done differently as this issue is not present in .33 or .34 kernels due to rework in this area. If a task is in the TASK_WAITING state, then try_to_wake_up() is working on it, and it will place it on the correct cpu. This commit ensures that neither migrate_task() nor __migrate_task() calls set_task_cpu(p) while p is in the TASK_WAKING state. Otherwise, there could be two concurrent calls to set_task_cpu(p), resulting in the task's cfs_rq being inconsistent with its cpu.
