sched: Fix crash trying to dequeue/enqueue the idle thread

Browse source 
Sasha reports that his virtual machine tries to schedule the idle
thread since commit 6c37067e27 ("sched: Change the
sched_class::set_cpus_allowed() calling context").

Hit trace shows this happening from idle_thread_get()->init_idle(),
which is the _second_ init_idle() invocation on that task_struct, the
first being done through idle_init()->fork_idle(). (this code is
insane...)

Because we call init_idle() twice in a row, its ->sched_class ==
&idle_sched_class and ->on_rq = TASK_ON_RQ_QUEUED. This means
do_set_cpus_allowed() think we're queued and will call dequeue_task(),
which is implemented with BUG() for the idle class, seeing how
dequeueing the idle task is a daft thing.

Aside of the whole insanity of calling init_idle() _twice_, change the
code to call set_cpus_allowed_common() instead as this is 'obviously'
before the idle task gets ran etc..
