    sched_ule: Ensure we hold the thread lock when modifying td_flags
    
    The load balancer may force a running thread to reschedule and pick a
    new CPU.  To do this it sets some flags in the thread running on a
    loaded CPU.  But the code assumed that a running thread's lock is the
    same as that of the corresponding runqueue, and there are small windows
    where this is not true.  In this case, we can end up with non-atomic
    modifications to td_flags.
    
    Since this load balancing is best-effort, simply give up if the thread's
    lock doesn't match; in this case the thread is about to enter the
    scheduler anyway.
