sched: Fix rq->nr_uninterruptible update race

KOSAKI Motohiro noticed the following race:

 > CPU0                    CPU1
 > --------------------------------------------------------
 > deactivate_task()
 >                         task->state = TASK_UNINTERRUPTIBLE;
 > activate_task()
 >    rq->nr_uninterruptible--;
 >
 >                         schedule()
 >                           deactivate_task()
 >                             rq->nr_uninterruptible++;
 >

Kosaki-San's scenario is possible when CPU0 runs
__sched_setscheduler() against CPU1's current @task.

__sched_setscheduler() does a dequeue/enqueue in order to move
the task to its new queue (position) to reflect the newly provided
scheduling parameters. However it should be completely invariant to
nr_uninterruptible accounting, sched_setscheduler() doesn't affect
readyness to run, merely policy on when to run.

So convert the inappropriate activate/deactivate_task usage to
enqueue/dequeue_task, which avoids the nr_uninterruptible accounting.

Also convert the two other sites: __migrate_task() and
normalize_task() that still use activate/deactivate_task. These sites
aren't really a problem since __migrate_task() will only be called on
non-running task (and therefore are immume to the described problem)
and normalize_task() isn't ever used on regular systems.

Also remove the comments from activate/deactivate_task since they're
misleading at best.
