Subject: [RFC 33/60] cosched: Allow resched_curr() to be called for hierarchical runqueues

The function resched_curr() kicks the scheduler for a certain runqueue,
assuming that the runqueue is already locked.

If called for a hierarchical runqueue, the equivalent operation is to
kick the leader. Unfortunately, we don't know whether we also hold
the CPU runqueue lock at this point, which is needed for resched_curr()
to work. Therefore, fall back to resched_cpu_locked() on higher levels.
