Subject: [PATCH v5 2/4] sched/core: Avoid double calling update_rq_clock() in __balance_push_cpu_stop()

The WARN_DOUBLE_CLOCK warning is triggered during cpu offline.
------------[ cut here ]------------
rq->clock_update_flags & RQCF_UPDATED
WARNING: CPU: 17 PID: 138 at kernel/sched/core.c:741
update_rq_clock+0xaf/0x180
Call Trace:
 <TASK>
 __balance_push_cpu_stop+0x146/0x180
 ? migration_cpu_stop+0x2a0/0x2a0
 cpu_stopper_thread+0xa3/0x140
 smpboot_thread_fn+0x14f/0x210

 kthread+0xe6/0x110
 ? kthread_complete_and_exit+0x20/0x20
 ret_from_fork+0x1f/0x30

To avoid this warning, we remove update_rq_clock() from
the __migrate_task() function. And in order to avoid
missing rq clock update, add update_rq_clock() call before
migration_cpu_stop() calls __migrate_task().
