Subject: [PATCH] sched/core: fix affine_move_task failure case

Bill Peters reported CPU hangs while offlining/onlining CPUs on s390.

Analyzing the vmcore data shows `stop_one_cpu_nowait()` in `affine_move_task()`
can fail when racing with off-/on-lining resulting in a deadlock waiting for
the pending migration stop work completion which is never done.

Fix this by correctly handling such a condition.
