Subject: [RFC PATCH 1/3] sched: Make migrate_task_to() take any task

The migrate_task_to() function exposed from kernel/sched/core.c migrates
the current task, which is silently assumed to also be its first
argument, to the specified CPU. The function uses stop_one_cpu() to
migrate the task to the target CPU, which won't work if @p is not the
current task as the stop_one_cpu() callback isn't invoked on remote
CPUs.

While this operation is useful for task_numa_migrate() in fair.c, it
would be useful if __migrate_task() in core.c was given external
linkage, as it actually can be used to migrate any task to a CPU.

This patch therefore:
1. Renames the existing migrate_task_to() be called
   numa_migrate_current_task_to().
2. Renames __migrate_task() to migrate_task_to(), gives it global
   linkage, and updates all callers accordingly.

A follow-on patch will call the new migrate_task_to() from fair.c when
migrating a task in a shared wakequeue to a remote CPU.
