Subject: [PATCH] sched/core: simpler function for sched_exec migration

when sched_exec needs migration and CONFIG_PREEMPT_NONE=y,
migration_cpu_stop almost does nothing due to
the caller is !task_on_rq_queued().

currently CONFIG_PREEMPT and CONFIG_PREEMPT_VOLUNTARY work well because
the caller keeps task_on_rq_queued():

1. when CONFIG_PREEMPT=y
  stop_one_cpu
  ->cpu_stop_queue_work
    ->spin_unlock_irqrestore (preempt_enable calls __preempt_schedule)

2. when CONFIG_PREEMPT_VOLUNTARY=y
  stop_one_cpu
  ->wait_for_completion
    ->...
      -->might_sleep() (calls _cond_resched()

stop_one_cpu_sync is introduced here to address this problem,more further
it makes more simpler for CONFIG_PREEMPT=y or CONFIG_PREEMPT_VOLUNTARY=y
when sched_exec needs migration.
