1e5a74059f sched: Fix cross-sched-class wakeup preemption
Instead of dealing with sched classes inside each check_preempt_curr()
implementation, pull out this logic into the generic wakeup preemption
path.

This fixes a hang in KVM (and others) where we are waiting for the
stop machine thread to run ...

2d46709082 sched: Fix runnable condition for stoptask
Heiko reported that the TASK_RUNNING check is not sufficient for
CONFIG_PREEMPT=y since we can get preempted with !TASK_RUNNING.

He suggested adding a ->se.on_rq test to the existing TASK_RUNNING
one, however TASK_RUNNING will always have ->se.on_rq, so we might as
well reduce that to a single test.

[ stop tasks should never get preempted, but its good to handle
  this case correctly should this ever happen ]

34f971f6f7 sched: Create special class for stop/migrate work
In order to separate the stop/migrate work thread from the SCHED_FIFO
implementation, create a special class for it that is of higher priority than
SCHED_FIFO itself.

This currently solves a problem where cpu-hotplug consumes so much cpu-time
that the SCHED_FIFO class gets throttled, but has the bandwidth replenishment
timer pending on the now dead cpu.

It is also required for when we add the planned deadline scheduling class above
SCHED_FIFO, as the stop/migrate thread still needs to transcent those tasks.
