sched/core: Fix remote wakeups
Commit:
b5179ac70de8 ("sched/fair: Prepare to fix fairness problems on migration")
... introduced a bug: Mike Galbraith found that it introduced a
performance regression, while Paul E. McKenney reported lost
wakeups and bisected it to this commit.
The reason is that I mis-read ttwu_queue() such that I assumed any
wakeup that got a remote queue must have had the task migrated.
Since this is not so; we need to transfer this information between
queueing the wakeup and actually doing the wakeup. Use a new
task_struct::sched_flag for this, we already write to
sched_contributes_to_load in the wakeup path so this is a hot and
modified cacheline.
