sched: Fix pick_next_task_fair() vs try_to_wake_up() race

Syzkaller robot reported KCSAN tripping over the
ASSERT_EXCLUSIVE_WRITER(p->on_rq) in __block_task().

The report noted that both pick_next_task_fair() and try_to_wake_up()
were concurrently trying to write to the same p->on_rq, violating the
assertion -- even though both paths hold rq->__lock.

The logical consequence is that both code paths end up holding a
different rq->__lock. And looking through ttwu(), this is possible
when the __block_task() 'p->on_rq = 0' store is visible to the ttwu()
'p->on_rq' load, which then assumes the task is not queued and
continues to migrate it.

Rearrange things such that __block_task() releases @p with the store
and no code thereafter will use @p again.
