Subject: [PATCH RT 21/24] sched: Allow pinned user tasks to be awakened to the CPU they pinned

4.14.63-rt41-rc2 stable review patch.
If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Mike Galbraith <efault@....de>

[ Upstream commit cd4d35ef89948221f7cd1751cee453943967364c ]

Since commit 7af443ee16976 ("sched/core: Require cpu_active() in
select_task_rq(), for user tasks") select_fallback_rq() will BUG() if
the CPU to which a task has pinned itself and pinned becomes
!cpu_active() while it slept.
The task will continue running on the to-be-removed CPU and will remove
itself from the CPU during takedown_cpu() (while cpuhp_pin_lock will be
acquired) and move to another CPU based on its mask after the
migrate_disable() section has been left.
