sched: avoid stack var in move_task_off_dead_cpu, fix
Impact: locking fix
We can't call cpuset_cpus_allowed_locked() with the rq lock held.
However, the rq lock merely protects us from (1) cpu_online_mask changing
and (2) someone else changing p->cpus_allowed.
The first can't happen because we're being called from a cpu hotplug
notifier. The second doesn't really matter: we are forcing the task off
a CPU it was affine to, so we're not doing very well anyway.
So we remove the rq lock from this path, and all is good.
