Give every class a set_cpus_allowed() method, this enables some small
optimization in the RT,DL implementation by avoiding a double
cpumask_weight() call.

Chris bisected a NULL pointer deference in task_sched_runtime() to
commit 6e998916df 'sched/cputime: Fix clock_nanosleep()/clock_gettime()
inconsistency'.
Chris observed crashes in atop or other /proc walking programs when he
started fork bombs on his machine. He assumed that this is a new exit
race, but that does not make any sense when looking at that commit.
What's interesting is that, the commit provides update_curr callbacks
for all scheduling classes except stop_task and idle_task.
While nothing can ever hit that via the clock_nanosleep() and
clock_gettime() interfaces, which have been the target of the commit in
question, the author obviously forgot that there are other code paths
which invoke task_sched_runtime()
do_task_stat(()
thread_group_cputime_adjusted()
thread_group_cputime()
task_cputime()
task_sched_runtime()
if (task_current(rq, p) && task_on_rq_queued(p)) {
update_rq_clock(rq);
up->sched_class->update_curr(rq);
}
If the stats are read for a stomp machine task, aka 'migration/N' and
that task is current on its cpu, this will happily call the NULL pointer
of stop_task->update_curr. Ooops.
Chris observation that this happens faster when he runs the fork bomb
makes sense as the fork bomb will kick migration threads more often so
the probability to hit the issue will increase.
Add the missing update_curr callbacks to the scheduler classes stop_task
and idle_task. While idle tasks cannot be monitored via /proc we have
other means to hit the idle case.

Implement task_on_rq_queued() and use it everywhere instead of
on_rq check. No functional changes.
The only exception is we do not use the wrapper in
check_for_tasks(), because it requires to export
task_on_rq_queued() in global header files. Next patch in series
would return it back, so we do not twist it from here to there.

Sometimes ->nr_running may cross 2 but interrupt is not being
sent to rq's cpu. In this case we don't reenable the timer.
Looks like this may be the reason for rare unexpected effects,
if nohz is enabled.
Patch replaces all places of direct changing of nr_running
and makes add_nr_running() caring about crossing border.

Dan Carpenter reported:
> kernel/sched/rt.c:1347 pick_next_task_rt() warn: variable dereferenced before check 'prev' (see line 1338)
> kernel/sched/deadline.c:1011 pick_next_task_dl() warn: variable dereferenced before check 'prev' (see line 1005)
Kirill also spotted that migrate_tasks() will have an instant NULL
deref because pick_next_task() will immediately deref prev.
Instead of fixing all the corner cases because migrate_tasks() can
pass in a NULL prev task in the unlikely case of hot-un-plug, provide
a fake task such that we can remove all the NULL checks from the far
more common paths.
A further problem; not previously spotted; is that because we pushed
pre_schedule() and idle_balance() into pick_next_task() we now need to
avoid those getting called and pulling more tasks on our dying CPU.
We avoid pull_{dl,rt}_task() by setting fake_task.prio to MAX_PRIO+1.
We also note that since we call pick_next_task() exactly the amount of
times we have runnable tasks present, we should never land in
idle_balance().

In order to avoid having to do put/set on a whole cgroup hierarchy
when we context switch, push the put into pick_next_task() so that
both operations are in the same function. Further changes then allow
us to possibly optimize away redundant work.

Introduces the data structures, constants and symbols needed for
SCHED_DEADLINE implementation.
Core data structure of SCHED_DEADLINE are defined, along with their
initializers. Hooks for checking if a task belong to the new policy
are also added where they are needed.
Adds a scheduling class, in sched/dl.c and a new policy called
SCHED_DEADLINE. It is an implementation of the Earliest Deadline
First (EDF) scheduling algorithm, augmented with a mechanism (called
Constant Bandwidth Server, CBS) that makes it possible to isolate
the behaviour of tasks between each other.
The typical -deadline task will be made up of a computation phase
(instance) which is activated on a periodic or sporadic fashion. The
expected (maximum) duration of such computation is called the task's
runtime; the time interval by which each instance need to be completed
is called the task's relative deadline. The task's absolute deadline
is dynamically calculated as the time instant a task (better, an
instance) activates plus the relative deadline.
The EDF algorithms selects the task with the smallest absolute
deadline as the one to be executed first, while the CBS ensures each
task to run for at most its runtime every (relative) deadline
length time interval, avoiding any interference between different
tasks (bandwidth isolation).
Thanks to this feature, also tasks that do not strictly comply with
the computational model sketched above can effectively use the new
policy.
To summarize, this patch:
- introduces the data structures, constants and symbols needed;
- implements the core logic of the scheduling algorithm in the new
scheduling class file;
- provides all the glue code between the new scheduling class and
the core scheduler and refines the interactions between sched/dl
and the other existing scheduling classes.

Use the new stop_two_cpus() to implement migrate_swap(), a function that
flips two tasks between their respective cpus.
I'm fairly sure there's a less crude way than employing the stop_two_cpus()
method, but everything I tried either got horribly fragile and/or complex. So
keep it simple for now.
The notable detail is how we 'migrate' tasks that aren't runnable
anymore. We'll make it appear like we migrated them before they went to
sleep. The sole difference is the previous cpu in the wakeup path, so we
override this.

Make stop scheduler class do the same accounting as other classes,
Migration threads can be caught in the act while doing exec balancing,
leading to the below due to use of unmaintained ->se.exec_start. The
load that triggered this particular instance was an apparently out of
control heavily threaded application that does system monitoring in
what equated to an exec bomb, with one of the VERY frequently migrated
tasks being ps.
