sched/core: Reset task's lockless wake-queues on fork()
In the following commit:
7675104990ed ("sched: Implement lockless wake-queues")
we gained lockless wake-queues.
The -RT kernel managed to lockup itself with those. There could be multiple
attempts for task X to enqueue it for a wakeup _even_ if task X is already
running.
The reason is that task X could be runnable but not yet on CPU. The the
task performing the wakeup did not leave the CPU it could performe
multiple wakeups.
With the proper timming task X could be running and enqueued for a
wakeup. If this happens while X is performing a fork() then its its
child will have a !NULL `wake_q` member copied.
This is not a problem as long as the child task does not participate in
lockless wakeups :)
