sched: Ensure set_task_cpu() is never called on blocked tasks

In order to clean up the set_task_cpu() rq dependencies we need
to ensure it is never called on blocked tasks because such usage
does not pair with consistent rq->lock usage.

This puts the migration burden on ttwu().

Furthermore we need to close a race against changing
->cpus_allowed, since select_task_rq() runs with only preemption
disabled.

For sched_fork() this is safe because the child isn't in the
tasklist yet, for wakeup we fix this by synchronizing
set_cpus_allowed_ptr() against TASK_WAKING, which leaves
sched_exec to be a problem

This also closes a hole in (6ad4c1888 sched: Fix balance vs
hotplug race) where ->select_task_rq() doesn't validate the
result against the sched_domain/root_domain.
