[PATCH] move_task_off_dead_cpu() should be called with disabled ints

[Kirill Korotaev]

move_task_off_dead_cpu() requires interrupts to be disabled,
while migrate_dead() calls it with enabled interrupts.
Added appropriate comments to functions and added
BUG_ON(!irqs_disabled()) into double_rq_lock() and
double_lock_balance() which are the origin sources of such bugs.
