Subject: [PATCH] sched: Fix migration_cpu_stop() return value

A while ago I did a similar patch for some debugging, but looking at it
again today I realized we should probably fix this anyway.

Subject: sched: Fix migration_cpu_stop() return value

There are a number of migration_cpu_stop() users; and some actually care
about the success of the migration. So report this.

In particular migrate_task_to() as used from task_numa_migrate()
actually tests this return value.

Also change set_cpus_allowed_ptr() to propagate this return value, since
it already returns other errors.
