[PATCH -v2 02/17] sched: Fix balance_callback()

[Peter Zijlstra <peterz@infradead.org>]

The intent of balance_callback() has always been to delay executing
balancing operations until the end of the current rq->lock section.
This is because balance operations must often drop rq->lock, and that
isn't safe in general.

However, as noted by Scott, there were a few holes in that scheme;
balance_callback() was called after rq->lock was dropped, which means
another CPU can interleave and touch the callback list.

Rework code to call the balance callbacks before dropping rq->lock
where possible, and otherwise splice the balance list onto a local
stack.

This guarantees that the balance list must be empty when we take
rq->lock. IOW, we'll only ever run our own balance callbacks.
