Subject: [PATCH 1/5 v0.6] sched/umcg: add WF_CURRENT_CPU and externise ttwu

Add WF_CURRENT_CPU wake flag that advices the scheduler to
move the wakee to the current CPU. This is useful for fast on-CPU
context switching use cases such as UMCG.

In addition, make ttwu external rather than static so that
the flag could be passed to it from outside of sched/core.c.
