Subject: [PATCH 2/6] sched: add WF_CURRENT_CPU and externise ttwu

From: Peter Oskolkov <posk@...gle.com>

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.

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