sched: Move the second half of ttwu() to the remote cpu
Now that we've removed the rq->lock requirement from the first part of
ttwu() and can compute placement without holding any rq->lock, ensure
we execute the second half of ttwu() on the actual cpu we want the
task to run on.
This avoids having to take rq->lock and doing the task enqueue
remotely, saving lots on cacheline transfers.
As measured using: http://oss.oracle.com/~mason/sembench.c
