sched: CPU remove deadlock fix
Impact: fix possible deadlock in CPU hot-remove path This patch fixes a possible deadlock scenario in the CPU remove path. migration_call grabs rq->lock, then wakes up everything on rq->migration_queue with the lock held. Then one of the tasks on the migration queue ends up calling tg_shares_up which then also tries to acquire the same rq->lock.
