commit da2d81b4118a74e65d2335e221a38d665902a98c upstream.
bypass_lb_cpu() transfers tasks between per-CPU bypass DSQs without
migrating them - task_cpu() only updates when the donee later consumes the
task via move_remote_task_to_local_dsq(). If the LB timer fires again before
consumption and the new DSQ becomes a donor, @p is still on the previous CPU
and task_rq(@p) != donor_rq. @p can't be moved without its own rq locked.
Skip such tasks.
