sched: Fix/clarify set_task_cpu() locking rules
Sergey reported a CONFIG_PROVE_RCU warning in push_rt_task where set_task_cpu() was called with both relevant rq->locks held, which should be sufficient for running tasks since holding its rq->lock will serialize against sched_move_task(). Update the comments and fix the task_group() lockdep test.
