sched/core: Fix DEBUG_SPINLOCK annotation for rq->lock

Browse source

Mark noticed that he had sporadic "spinlock recursion" warnings from
the DEBUG_SPINLOCK code. Now rq->lock is special in that the owner
changes in the middle of a context switch.

It so happens that we fix up the lock.owner too late, @prev can run
(remotely) the moment prev->on_cpu is cleared, this then allows @prev
to again try and acquire this rq->lock and trigger this warning.

So we have to switch lock.owner before clearing prev->on_cpu.

Do this by moving the DEBUG_SPINLOCK annotation from after switch_to()
to before switch_to() and collect all lockdep annotations there into
prepare_lock_switch() to mirror the existing finish_lock_switch().
