Subject: [PATCH] sched/core: Fix rq lock pinning warning after call balance callbacks

From: Wanpeng Li <wanpeng.li@...mail.com>

This can be reproduced by running rt-migrate-test:

We utilize balance callbacks to delay the load-balancing operations 
{rt,dl}*{push,pull} until we've done all the important work. The 
push/pull operations can unlock/lock the current rq for safety acquires 
the src's and dest's rq->locks in a fair way. It's safe to drop the 
rq lock here, unpin and repin to avoid the splat.
