sched: fix cpu hotplug

I think we may have a race between try_to_wake_up() and
migrate_live_tasks() -> move_task_off_dead_cpu() when the later one
may end up looping endlessly.

Interrupts are enabled on other CPUs when migration_call(CPU_DEAD, ...) is
called so we may get a race between try_to_wake_up() and
migrate_live_tasks() -> move_task_off_dead_cpu(). The former one may push
a task out of a dead CPU causing the later one to loop endlessly.

| That's exactly what explains a dump I got yesterday. Thanks for fixing! :)
