[2/5] sched: add WF_CURRENT_CPU and externise ttwu
Commit Message
From: Peter Oskolkov <posk@google.com>
Add WF_CURRENT_CPU wake flag that advices the scheduler to
move the wakee to the current CPU. This is useful for fast on-CPU
context switching use cases such as UMCG.
In addition, make ttwu external rather than static so that
the flag could be passed to it from outside of sched/core.c.

UMCG is https://lwn.net/Articles/879398/ ?

This would need an Ack from the sched maintainers...

Yes, this is it. https://lkml.org/lkml/2021/11/4/830 is the most recent
version that I've seen.
