perf: Fix software migrate events
Stephane asked about PERF_COUNT_SW_CPU_MIGRATIONS and I realized it
was borken:
> The problem is that the task isn't actually scheduled while its being
> migrated (obviously), and if its not scheduled, the counters aren't
> scheduled either, so there's no observing of the fact.
>
> A further problem with migrations is that many migrations happen from
> softirq context, which is nested inside the 'random' task context of
> whoemever happens to run at that time, similarly for the wakeup
> migrations triggered from (soft)irq context. All those end up being
> accounted in the task that's currently running, eg. your 'ls'.
The below cures this by marking a task as migrated and accounting it
on the subsequent sched_in().
