Subject: [PATCH tip 2/3] sched: make migrate_enable/migrate_disable inline

For now, migrate_enable and migrate_disable are global, which makes them
become hotspots in some case. Take BPF for example, the function calling
to migrate_enable and migrate_disable in BPF trampoline can introduce
significant overhead, and following is the 'perf top' of FENTRY's
benchmark (./tools/testing/selftests/bpf/bench trig-fentry):

  54.63% bpf_prog_2dcccf652aac1793_bench_trigger_fentry [k]
                 bpf_prog_2dcccf652aac1793_bench_trigger_fentry
  10.43% [kernel] [k] migrate_enable
  10.07% bpf_trampoline_6442517037 [k] bpf_trampoline_6442517037
  8.06% [kernel] [k] __bpf_prog_exit_recur
  4.11% libc.so.6 [.] syscall
  2.15% [kernel] [k] entry_SYSCALL_64
  1.48% [kernel] [k] memchr_inv
  1.32% [kernel] [k] fput
  1.16% [kernel] [k] _copy_to_user
  0.73% [kernel] [k] bpf_prog_test_run_raw_tp

So in this commit, we make migrate_enable/migrate_disable inline to obtain
better performance. The struct rq is defined internally in
kernel/sched/sched.h, and the field "nr_pinned" is accessed in
migrate_enable/migrate_disable, which makes it hard to make them inline.

Alexei Starovoitov suggests to generate the offset of "nr_pinned" in [1],
so we can define the migrate_enable/migrate_disable in
include/linux/sched.h and access "this_rq()->nr_pinned" with
"(void *)this_rq() + RQ_nr_pinned".

The offset of "nr_pinned" is generated in include/generated/rq-offsets.h
by kernel/sched/rq-offsets.c.

Generally speaking, we move the definition of migrate_enable and
migrate_disable to include/linux/sched.h from kernel/sched/core.c. The
calling to __set_cpus_allowed_ptr() is leaved in __migrate_enable().

The "struct rq" is not available in include/linux/sched.h, so we can't
access the "runqueues" with this_cpu_ptr(), as the compilation will fail
in this_cpu_ptr() -> raw_cpu_ptr() -> __verify_pcpu_ptr():
  typeof((ptr) + 0)

So we introduce the this_rq_raw() and access the runqueues with
arch_raw_cpu_ptr() directly.

Before this patch, the performance of BPF FENTRY is:

  fentry         :  113.030 ± 0.149M/s
  fentry         :  112.501 ± 0.187M/s
  fentry         :  112.828 ± 0.267M/s
  fentry         :  115.287 ± 0.241M/s

After this patch, the performance of BPF FENTRY increases to:

  fentry         :  143.644 ± 0.670M/s
  fentry         :  149.764 ± 0.362M/s
  fentry         :  149.642 ± 0.156M/s
  fentry         :  145.263 ± 0.221M/s
