sched: rt-group: deal with PI
Steven mentioned the fun case where a lock holding task will be throttled.
Simple fix: allow groups that have boosted tasks to run anyway.
If a runnable task in a throttled group gets boosted the dequeue/enqueue
done by rt_mutex_setprio() is enough to unthrottle the group.
This is ofcourse not quite correct. Two possible ways forward are:
- second prio array for boosted tasks
- boost to a prio ceiling (this would also work for deadline scheduling)
