There are some double rq clock update warnings are triggered.

For the __balance_push_cpu_stop() case, we remove update_rq_clock() from
the __migrate_task() function to avoid double updating the rq clock.
And in order to avoid missing rq clock update, add update_rq_clock()
call before migration_cpu_stop() calls __migrate_task().

This also works for unthrottle_cfs_rq(), so we also removed
update_rq_clock() from the unthrottle_cfs_rq() function to avoid
warnings caused by calling it multiple times, such as
__cfsb_csd_unthrottle() and unthrottle_offline_cfs_rqs(). and
in order to avoid missing rq clock update, we correspondingly add
update_rq_clock() calls before unthrottle_cfs_rq() runs.

Note that the rq clock has been updated before the set_rq_offline()
function runs, so we don't need to add update_rq_clock() call in
unthrottle_offline_cfs_rqs().
