sched: Use cpu_dying() to fix balance_push vs hotplug-rollback

Use the new cpu_dying() state to simplify and fix the balance_push()
vs CPU hotplug rollback state.

Specifically, we currently rely on notifiers sched_cpu_dying() /
sched_cpu_activate() to terminate balance_push, however if the
cpu_down() fails when we're past sched_cpu_deactivate(), it should
terminate balance_push at that point and not wait until we hit
sched_cpu_activate().

Similarly, when cpu_up() fails and we're going back down, balance_push
should be active, where it currently is not.

So instead, make sure balance_push is enabled below SCHED_AP_ACTIVE
(when !cpu_active()), and gate it's utility with cpu_dying().
