sched: Fix a race between __kthread_bind() and sched_setaffinity()

Because sched_setscheduler() checks p->flags & PF_NO_SETAFFINITY
without locks, a caller might observe an old value and race with the
set_cpus_allowed_ptr() call from __kthread_bind() and effectively undo
it:

	__kthread_bind()
	  do_set_cpus_allowed()
						<SYSCALL>
						  sched_setaffinity()
						    if (p->flags & PF_NO_SETAFFINITIY)
						    set_cpus_allowed_ptr()
	  p->flags |= PF_NO_SETAFFINITY

Fix the bug by putting everything under the regular scheduler locks.

This also closes a hole in the serialization of task_struct::{nr_,}cpus_allowed.
