While discussing the need for sched_idle_next(), Oleg remarked that
since try_to_wake_up() ensures sleeping tasks will end up running on a
sane cpu, we can do away with migrate_live_tasks().

If we then extend the existing hack of migrating current from
CPU_DYING to migrating the full rq worth of tasks from CPU_DYING, the
need for the sched_idle_next() abomination disappears as well, since
idle will be the only possible thread left after the migration thread
stops.

This greatly simplifies the hot-unplug task migration path, as can be
seen from the resulting code reduction (and about half the new lines
are comments).
