sched: hmp: fix spinlock recursion in active migration
[original commit message] Commit cd5c2cc93d3d (hmp: Remove potential for task_struct access race) introduced a put_task_struct() to prevent races, but in doing so introduced potential spinlock recursion. (This change was further onsolidated in commit 0baa5811bacf -- sched: hmp: unify active migration code.) Unfortunately, the put_task_struct() is done while the runqueue spinlock is held, but put_task_struct() can also cause a reschedule causing the runqueue lock to be acquired recursively. To fix, move the put_task_struct() outside the runqueue spinlock. [additional commit message by Chanwoo Choi] We did not apply hmp patch[1] because patch[1] clean the code by sharing the same code. When I applied hmp patch[1], scheduling problem issue occured. [1] commit 0baa5811bacf -- sched: hmp: unify active migration code.) So, this patch move the put_task_struct() just outside the runqueue spinlock.
