sched/rt: Fix rq's cpupri leak while enqueue/dequeue child RT entities
This patch touches the RT group scheduling case. Functions inc_rt_prio_smp() and dec_rt_prio_smp() change (global) rq's priority, while rt_rq passed to them may be not the top-level rt_rq. This is wrong, because changing of priority on a child level does not guarantee that the priority is the highest all over the rq. So, this leak makes RT balancing unusable. The short example: the task having the highest priority among all rq's RT tasks (no one other task has the same priority) are waking on a throttle rt_rq. The rq's cpupri is set to the task's priority equivalent, but real rq->rt.highest_prio.curr is less. The patch below fixes the problem.
