sched: _cpu_down(): Don't play with current->cpus_allowed
_cpu_down() changes the current task's affinity and then recovers it at
the end. The problems are well known: we can't restore old_allowed if it
was bound to the now-dead-cpu, and we can race with the userspace which
can change cpu-affinity during unplug.
_cpu_down() should not play with current->cpus_allowed at all. Instead,
take_cpu_down() can migrate the caller of _cpu_down() after __cpu_disable()
removes the dying cpu from cpu_online_mask.
