perf: Fix software migrate events

Stephane asked about PERF_COUNT_SW_CPU_MIGRATIONS and I realized it
was borken:

 > The problem is that the task isn't actually scheduled while its being
 > migrated (obviously), and if its not scheduled, the counters aren't
 > scheduled either, so there's no observing of the fact.
 >
 > A further problem with migrations is that many migrations happen from
 > softirq context, which is nested inside the 'random' task context of
 > whoemever happens to run at that time, similarly for the wakeup
 > migrations triggered from (soft)irq context. All those end up being
 > accounted in the task that's currently running, eg. your 'ls'.

The below cures this by marking a task as migrated and accounting it
on the subsequent sched_in().
