sched: Fix hotplug task migration
Dan Carpenter reported:
> kernel/sched/rt.c:1347 pick_next_task_rt() warn: variable dereferenced before check 'prev' (see line 1338)
> kernel/sched/deadline.c:1011 pick_next_task_dl() warn: variable dereferenced before check 'prev' (see line 1005)
Kirill also spotted that migrate_tasks() will have an instant NULL
deref because pick_next_task() will immediately deref prev.
Instead of fixing all the corner cases because migrate_tasks() can
pass in a NULL prev task in the unlikely case of hot-un-plug, provide
a fake task such that we can remove all the NULL checks from the far
more common paths.
A further problem; not previously spotted; is that because we pushed
pre_schedule() and idle_balance() into pick_next_task() we now need to
avoid those getting called and pulling more tasks on our dying CPU.
We avoid pull_{dl,rt}_task() by setting fake_task.prio to MAX_PRIO+1.
We also note that since we call pick_next_task() exactly the amount of
times we have runnable tasks present, we should never land in
idle_balance().
Fixes: 38033c37faab ("sched: Push down pre_schedule() and idle_balance()")
