sched: Fix migrate_disable() vs set_cpus_allowed_ptr()
Concurrent migrate_disable() and set_cpus_allowed_ptr() has interesting features. We rely on set_cpus_allowed_ptr() to not return until the task runs inside the provided mask. This expectation is exported to userspace. This means that any set_cpus_allowed_ptr() caller must wait until migrate_enable() allows migrations. At the same time, we don't want migrate_enable() to schedule, due to patterns like: preempt_disable(); migrate_disable(); ... migrate_enable(); preempt_enable(); And: raw_spin_lock(&B); spin_unlock(&A); this means that when migrate_enable() must restore the affinity mask, it cannot wait for completion thereof. Luck will have it that that is exactly the case where there is a pending set_cpus_allowed_ptr(), so let that provide storage for the async stop machine. Much thanks to Valentin who used TLA+ most effective and found lots of 'interesting' cases.
