sched: Fix reference to stale task_struct in try_to_wake_up()
try_to_wake_up() currently drops p->pi_lock and later checks for need
to notify cpufreq governor on task migrations or wakeups. However the
woken task could exit between the time p->pi_lock is released and the
time the test for notification is run. As a result, the test for
notification could refer to an exited task. task_notify_on_migrate(p)
could thus lead to invalid memory reference.
Fix this by running the test for notification with task's pi_lock
held.
