sched: Add p->pi_lock to task_rq_lock()



In order to be able to call set_task_cpu() while either holding
p->pi_lock or task_rq(p)->lock we need to hold both locks in order to
stabilize task_rq().

This makes task_rq_lock() acquire both locks, and have
__task_rq_lock() validate that p->pi_lock is held. This increases the
locking overhead for most scheduler syscalls but allows reduction of
rq->lock contention for some scheduler hot paths (ttwu).
