sched/core: Schedule new worker even if PI-blocked
If a task is PI-blocked (blocking on sleeping spinlock) then we don't want to schedule a new kworker if we schedule out due to lock contention because !RT does not do that as well. A spinning spinlock disables preemption and a worker does not schedule out on lock contention (but spin). On RT the RW-semaphore implementation uses an rtmutex so tsk_is_pi_blocked() will return true if a task blocks on it. In this case we will now start a new worker which may deadlock if one worker is waiting on progress from another worker. Since a RW-semaphore starts a new worker on !RT, we should do the same on RT. XFS is able to trigger this deadlock. Allow to schedule new worker if the current worker is PI-blocked.
