sched: Add TASK_WAKING

We're going to want to drop rq->lock in try_to_wake_up() for a
longer period of time, however we also want to deal with concurrent
waking of the same task, which is currently handled by holding
rq->lock.

So introduce a new TASK state, namely TASK_WAKING, which indicates
someone is already waking the task (other wakers will fail p->state
& state).

We also keep preemption disabled over the whole ttwu().
