sched: Queue a deboosted task to the head of the RT prio queue
rtmutex_set_prio() is used to implement priority inheritance for futexes. When a task is deboosted it gets enqueued at the tail of its RT priority list. This is violating the POSIX scheduling semantics: rt priority list X contains two runnable tasks A and B task A runs with priority X and holds mutex M task C preempts A and is blocked on mutex M -> task A is boosted to priority of task C (Y) task A unlocks the mutex M and deboosts itself -> A is dequeued from rt priority list Y -> A is enqueued to the tail of rt priority list X task C schedules away task B runs This is wrong as task A did not schedule away and therefor violates the POSIX scheduling semantics. Enqueue the task to the head of the priority list instead.
