We rely very much on task_cpu(p) to be correct at all times, so that we can
correctly find the task_grp_rq from which the task has to be removed or added
to.

There is however one place in the scheduler where this assumption of
task_cpu(p) being correct is broken. This patch fixes that piece of code.

(Thanks to Balbir Singh for pointing this out to me)
