For CONFIG_PREEMPT_NONE=y, when sched_exec() needs migration, sched_exec()
calls stop_one_cpu(task_cpu(p), migration_cpu_stop, &arg).

If the migration_cpu_stop() can not migrate,why do we call stop_one_cpu()?
It just makes the task TASK_UNINTERRUPTIBLE, wakes up the stopper thread,
executes migration_cpu_stop(), and the stopper thread wakes up the task.

But in fact, all above works are almost useless(wasteful),the reason is 
migration_cpu_stop() can not migrate. why? migration_cpu_stop() needs the 
task is TASK_ON_RQ_QUEUED before it calls __migrate_task().

This patch keeps the task TASK_RUNNING instead of TASK_UNINTERRUPTIBLE,
so the migration_cpu_stop() can do useful works.
