sched: Fix TASK_WAKING vs fork deadlock
Oleg noticed a few races with the TASK_WAKING usage on fork.
- since TASK_WAKING is basically a spinlock, it should be IRQ safe
- since we set TASK_WAKING (*) without holding rq->lock it could
be there still is a rq->lock holder, thereby not actually
providing full serialization.
(*) in fact we clear PF_STARTING, which in effect enables TASK_WAKING.
Cure the second issue by not setting TASK_WAKING in sched_fork(), but
only temporarily in wake_up_new_task() while calling select_task_rq().
Cure the first by holding rq->lock around the select_task_rq() call,
this will disable IRQs, this however requires that we push down the
rq->lock release into select_task_rq_fair()'s cgroup stuff.
Because select_task_rq_fair() still needs to drop the rq->lock we
cannot fully get rid of TASK_WAKING.
