Subject: [PATCH v2] sched: fix migration to invalid cpu in __set_cpus_allowed_ptr

Oops occur when running qemu on arm64:
 Unable to handle kernel paging request at virtual address ffff000008effe40
 Internal error: Oops: 96000007 [#1] SMP
 Process migration/0 (pid: 12, stack limit = 0x00000000084e3736)

__set_cpus_allowed_ptr will choose an active dest_cpu in affinity mask to
migrage the process if process is not currently running on any one of the
CPUs specified in affinity mask. __set_cpus_allowed_ptr will choose an
invalid dest_cpu (dest_cpu >= nr_cpu_ids, 1024 in my virtual machine) if 
CPUS in an affinity mask are deactived by cpu_down after cpumask_intersects
check. cpumask_test_cpu of dest_cpu afterwards is overflow and may pass if
corresponding bit is coincidentally set. As a consequence, kernel will
access an invalid rq address associate with the invalid cpu in
migration_cpu_stop->__migrate_task->move_queued_task and the Oops occurs.

Process as follows may trigger the Oops:
1) A process repeatedly binds itself to cpu0 and cpu1 in turn by calling
sched_setaffinity.
2) A shell script repeatedly "echo 0 > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu1/online"
and "echo 1 > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu1/online" in turn.
3) Oops appears if the invalid cpu is set in memory after tested cpumask.
