Subject: [PATCH V2] sched: Prevent balance_push() on remote runqueues

sched_setscheduler() and rt_mutex_setprio() invoke the run-queue balance
callback after changing priorities or the scheduling class of a task. The
run-queue for which the callback is invoked can be local or remote.

That's not a problem for the regular rq::push_work which is serialized with
a busy flag in the run-queue struct, but for the balance_push() work which
is only valid to be invoked on the outgoing CPU that's wrong. It not only
triggers the debug warning, but also leaves the per CPU variable push_work
unprotected, which can result in double enqueues on the stop machine list.

Remove the warning and validate that the function is invoked on the
outgoing CPU.

Fixes: ae7927023243 ("sched: Optimize finish_lock_switch()")
