sched/rt: Add a missing rescheduling point
Since the change in commit: fd7a4bed1835 ("sched, rt: Convert switched_{from, to}_rt() / prio_changed_rt() to balance callbacks") ... we don't reschedule a task under certain circumstances: Lets say task-A, SCHED_OTHER, is running on CPU0 (and it may run only on CPU0) and holds a PI lock. This task is removed from the CPU because it used up its time slice and another SCHED_OTHER task is running. Task-B on CPU1 runs at RT priority and asks for the lock owned by task-A. This results in a priority boost for task-A. Task-B goes to sleep until the lock has been made available. Task-A is already runnable (but not active), so it receives no wake up. The reality now is that task-A gets on the CPU once the scheduler decides to remove the current task despite the fact that a high priority task is enqueued and waiting. This may take a long time. The desired behaviour is that CPU0 immediately reschedules after the priority boost which made task-A the task with the lowest priority.
