Subject: [PATCH RT v2 1/3] sched: migrate_enable: Use select_fallback_rq()

migrate_enable() currently open-codes a variant of select_fallback_rq().
However, it does not have the "No more Mr. Nice Guy" fallback and thus
it will pass an invalid CPU to the migration thread if cpus_mask only
contains a CPU that is !active.

Signed-off-by: Scott Wood <swood@...hat.com>
---
This scenario will be more likely after the next patch, since
the migrate_disable_update check goes away.  However, it could happen
anyway if cpus_mask was updated to a CPU other than the one we were
pinned to, and that CPU subsequently became inactive.
