Merge branch 'sched-core-for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip

Pull scheduler changes from Ingo Molnar:
 "Bigger changes:

   - sched/idle restructuring: they are WIP preparation for deeper
     integration between the scheduler and idle state selection, by
     Nicolas Pitre.

   - add NUMA scheduling pseudo-interleaving, by Rik van Riel.

   - optimize cgroup context switches, by Peter Zijlstra.

   - RT scheduling enhancements, by Thomas Gleixner.

  The rest is smaller changes, non-urgnt fixes and cleanups"
