Subject: [PATCH RFC 11/12] sched/coresched: Check for dynamic changes in smt_mask

From: Vineeth Pillai <viremana@...ux.microsoft.com>

There are multiple loops in pick_next_task that iterate over CPUs in
smt_mask. During a hotplug event, sibling could be removed from the
smt_mask while pick_next_task is running. So we cannot trust the mask
across the different loops. This can confuse the logic.

Add a retry logic if smt_mask changes between the loops.
