Subject: [PATCH v3 3/3] sched: Rework check_for_tasks()


1)Iterate thru all of threads in the system.
  Check for all threads, not only for group leaders.

2)Check for p->on_rq instead of p->state and cputime.
  Preempted task in !TASK_RUNNING state  OR just
  created task may be queued, that we want to be
  reported too.

3)Use read_lock() instead of write_lock().
  This function does not change any structures, and
  read_lock() is enough.
