sched: add sched_class->needs_post_schedule() member
We currently run class->post_schedule() outside of the rq->lock, which means that we need to test for the need to post_schedule outside of the lock to avoid a forced reacquistion. This is currently not a problem as we only look at rq->rt.overloaded. However, we want to enhance this going forward to look at more state to reduce the need to post_schedule to a bare minimum set. Therefore, we introduce a new member-func called needs_post_schedule() which tests for the post_schedule condtion without actually performing the work. Therefore it is safe to call this function before the rq->lock is released, because we are guaranteed not to drop the lock at an intermediate point (such as what post_schedule() may do). We will use this later in the series [ rostedt: removed paranoid BUG_ON ] Signed-off-by: Gregory Haskins <ghaskins@novell.com>
