sched: CPU remove deadlock fix

Impact: fix possible deadlock in CPU hot-remove path

This patch fixes a possible deadlock scenario in the CPU remove path.
migration_call grabs rq->lock, then wakes up everything on rq->migration_queue
with the lock held. Then one of the tasks on the migration queue ends up
calling tg_shares_up which then also tries to acquire the same rq->lock.
