Dmitry Adamushko ce96b5ac74 sched: fix __set_task_cpu() SMP race 
Grant Wilson has reported rare SCHED_FAIR_USER crashes on his quad-core
system, which crashes can only be explained via runqueue corruption.

there is a narrow SMP race in __set_task_cpu(): after ->cpu is set up to
a new value, task_rq_lock(p, ...) can be successfuly executed on another
CPU. We must ensure that updates of per-task data have been completed by
this moment.

this bug has been hiding in the Linux scheduler for an eternity (we never
had any explicit barrier for task->cpu in set_task_cpu() - so the bug was
introduced in 2.5.1), but only became visible via set_task_cfs_rq() being
accidentally put after the task->cpu update. It also probably needs a
sufficiently out-of-order CPU to trigger.
