sched: Fix ttwu() for __ARCH_WANT_INTERRUPTS_ON_CTXSW
Marc reported that e4a52bcb9 (sched: Remove rq->lock from the first half of ttwu()) broke his ARM-SMP machine. Now ARM is one of the few __ARCH_WANT_INTERRUPTS_ON_CTXSW users, so that exception in the ttwu() code was suspect. Yong found that the interrupt could hit after context_switch() changes current but before it clears p->on_cpu, if that interrupt were to attempt a wake-up of p we would indeed find ourselves spinning in IRQ context. Fix this by reverting to the old behaviour for this situation and perform a full remote wake-up.
