sched: fix crash on ia64, introduce task_current()

Some services (e.g. sched_setscheduler(), rt_mutex_setprio() and
sched_move_task()) must handle a given task differently in case it's the
'rq->curr' task on its run-queue. The task_running() interface is not
suitable for determining such tasks for platforms with one of the
following options:

#define __ARCH_WANT_UNLOCKED_CTXSW
#define __ARCH_WANT_INTERRUPTS_ON_CTXSW

Due to the fact that it makes use of 'p->oncpu == 1' as a criterion but
such a task is not necessarily 'rq->curr'.

The detailed explanation is available here:
