Avoid double_rq_lock() and use TASK_ON_RQ_MIGRATING for
active_load_balance_cpu_stop(). The advantage is (obviously) not
holding two 'rq->lock's at the same time and thereby increasing
parallelism.
Further note that if there was no task to migrate we will not have
acquired the second rq->lock at all.
The important point to note is that because we acquire dst->lock
immediately after releasing src->lock the potential wait time of
task_rq_lock() callers on TASK_ON_RQ_MIGRATING is not longer than
it would have been in the double rq lock scenario.
