Now that we've removed the rq->lock requirement from the first part of ttwu() and can compute placement without holding any rq->lock, ensure we execute the second half of ttwu() on the actual cpu we want the task to run on. This avoids having to take rq->lock and doing the task enqueue remotely, saving lots on cacheline transfers.
