[PATCH] sched: cleanup context switch locking
Instead of requiring architecture code to interact with the scheduler's
locking implementation, provide a couple of defines that can be used by the
architecture to request runqueue unlocked context switches, and ask for
interrupts to be enabled over the context switch.
Also replaces the "switch_lock" used by these architectures with an oncpu
flag (note, not a potentially slow bitflag). This eliminates one bus
locked memory operation when context switching, and simplifies the
task_running function.
