Subject: [34-longterm 089/260] sched: Optimize task_rq_lock()

From: Peter Zijlstra <a.p.zijlstra@...llo.nl>

commit 65cc8e4859ff29a9ddc989c88557d6059834c2a2 upstream.

Now that we hold the rq->lock over set_task_cpu() again, we can do
away with most of the TASK_WAKING checks and reduce them again to
set_cpus_allowed_ptr().

Removes some conditionals from scheduling hot-paths.
