sched: Fix CPU hotplug / tighten is_per_cpu_kthread()

Prior to commit 1cf12e08bc4d ("sched/hotplug: Consolidate task
migration on CPU unplug") we'd leave any task on the dying CPU and
break affinity and force them off at the very end.

This scheme had to change in order to enable migrate_disable(). One
cannot wait for migrate_disable() to complete while stuck in
stop_machine(). Furthermore, since we need at the very least: idle,
hotplug and stop threads at any point before stop_machine, we can't
break affinity and/or push those away.

Under the assumption that all per-cpu kthreads are sanely handled by
CPU hotplug, the new code no long breaks affinity or migrates any of
them (which then includes the critical ones above).

However, there's an important difference between per-cpu kthreads and
kthreads that happen to have a single CPU affinity which is lost. The
latter class very much relies on the forced affinity breaking and
migration semantics previously provided.

Use the new kthread_is_per_cpu() infrastructure to tighten
is_per_cpu_kthread() and fix the hot-unplug problems stemming from the
change.
