sched: Make sure timers have migrated before killing the migration_thread
Problem: In a stress test where some heavy tests were running along with regular CPU offlining and onlining, a hang was observed. The system seems to be hung at a point where migration_call() tries to kill the migration_thread of the dying CPU, which just got moved to the current CPU. This migration thread does not get a chance to run (and die) since rt_throttled is set to 1 on current, and it doesn't get cleared as the hrtimer which is supposed to reset the rt bandwidth (sched_rt_period_timer) is tied to the CPU which we just marked dead! Solution: This patch pushes the killing of migration thread to "CPU_POST_DEAD" event. By then all the timers (including sched_rt_period_timer) should have got migrated (along with other callbacks).
