sched: Provide p->on_rq
Provide a generic p->on_rq because the p->se.on_rq semantics are unfavourable for lockless wakeups but needed for sched_fair. In particular, p->on_rq is only cleared when we actually dequeue the task in schedule() and not on any random dequeue as done by things like __migrate_task() and __sched_setscheduler(). This also allows us to remove p->se usage from !sched_fair code.
