Subject: [PATCH] sched: Move the wakeup tracepoint from ttwu_do_wakeup() to ttwu_activate().

ttwu_do_wakeup() is called when the task's state is switched back to
TASK_RUNNING, whether or not the task actually scheduled out. Tracing
the wakeup event when the task never scheduled out is quite confusing.
It should only trace the task wake up if the task actually did go to
sleep. Move the tracepoint from ttwu_do_wakeup() to ttwu_activate()
where it is called only if the task is really woken up and not just
have its state changed.
