kernel: sched: Add support for CPU pinning

This commit introduces support for pinning processes to specific cores
which can be useful for things like, keeping core-specific workthreads
running on their respective processors as well as mitigating very
specific cases of false-sharing and performance degradation caused by a
thread jumping between cores which requires cache-line entries to be thrashed
around between them. Threads pinned to a specific core will always see their
cached data in the same L1, L2, etc.
