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().
