sched: Fix ttwu() for __ARCH_WANT_INTERRUPTS_ON_CTXSW

Marc reported that e4a52bcb9 (sched: Remove rq->lock from the first
half of ttwu()) broke his ARM-SMP machine. Now ARM is one of the few
__ARCH_WANT_INTERRUPTS_ON_CTXSW users, so that exception in the ttwu()
code was suspect.

Yong found that the interrupt could hit after context_switch() changes
current but before it clears p->on_cpu, if that interrupt were to
attempt a wake-up of p we would indeed find ourselves spinning in IRQ
context.

Fix this by reverting to the old behaviour for this situation and
perform a full remote wake-up.
