sched/core: Fix an SMP ordering race in try_to_wake_up() vs. schedule()
Oleg noticed that its possible to falsely observe p->on_cpu == 0 such
that we'll prematurely continue with the wakeup and effectively run p on
two CPUs at the same time.
Even though the overlap is very limited; the task is in the middle of
being scheduled out; it could still result in corruption of the
scheduler data structures.

prepare_lock_switch(Y)
Y->on_cpu = 1;
finish_lock_switch(X)
store_release(X->on_cpu, 0);
try_to_wake_up(X)
LOCK(p->pi_lock);
t = X->on_cpu; // 0
context_switch(Y, X)
prepare_lock_switch(X)
X->on_cpu = 1;
finish_lock_switch(Y)
store_release(Y->on_cpu, 0);
</preempt_schedule>
schedule();
deactivate_task(X);
X->on_rq = 0;
if (X->on_rq) // false
if (t) while (X->on_cpu)
cpu_relax();
context_switch(X, ..)
finish_lock_switch(X)
store_release(X->on_cpu, 0);
Avoid the load of X->on_cpu being hoisted over the X->on_rq load.
