sched/core: Rework and clarify prepare_lock_switch()

The prepare_lock_switch() function has an unused parameter, and also the
function name was not descriptive. To improve readability and remove
the extra parameter, do the following changes:

* Move prepare_lock_switch() from kernel/sched/sched.h to
  kernel/sched/core.c, rename it to prepare_task(), and remove the
  unused parameter.

* Split the smp_store_release() out from finish_lock_switch() to a
  function named finish_task.

* Comments ajdustments.
