[PATCH] sched: modify the comment about lock assumption in migrate_task_rq_fair()

[byungchul.park]

From: Byungchul Park <byungchul.park@xxxxxxx>

The comment describing migrate_task_rq_fair() says that the caller
should hold p->pi_lock. But in some other case, the caller can hold
task_rq(p)->lock instead of p->pi_lock. So the comment is broken and
this patch fixs it.
