It now being the weekend...

sched: Disable default set_cpus_allowed() method during update_migrate_disable().

update_migrate_disable() calls class::set_cpus_allowed(), when that method
is set_cpus_allowed_common(), writing to ->cpus_allowed defeats the intent
of migrate_disable(), permanently disabling migration instead.
