sched/rt: Provide migrate_disable/enable() inlines
Code which solely needs to prevent migration of a task uses preempt_disable()/enable() pairs. This is the only reliable way to do so as setting the task affinity to a single CPU can be undone by a setaffinity operation from a different task/process. RT provides a seperate migrate_disable/enable() mechanism which does not disable preemption to achieve the semantic requirements of a (almost) fully preemptible kernel. As it is unclear from looking at a given code path whether the intention is to disable preemption or migration, introduce migrate_disable/enable() inline functions which can be used to annotate code which merely needs to disable migration. Map them to preempt_disable/enable() for now. The RT substitution will be provided later. Code which is annotated that way documents that it has no requirement to protect against reentrancy of a preempting task. Either this is not required at all or the call sites are already serialized by other means.
