Subject[sched] redundant reschedule when set_user_nice() boosts a prio of a task from the "expired" array
Hello,

Scenario:

Currently running [task1] boosts a priority (lowers a static_prio) of
[task2] via { setpriority -> set_user_nice } and [task2] happens to be
in the "expired" array at the moment.
According to the set_user_nice(), "delta" is negative (the prio is
boosted) and, hence, resched_task(rq->curr) is called.

As the [task2] is in the "expired" array and there are still tasks (at
least [task1]) in the "active" one, the triggered reschedule is just
useless (e.g. gets control back to [task1]).

Am I missing something?

The same is applicable to rt_mutex_setprio().

Of course, not a big deal, but it's easily avoidable, e.g. (delta < 0
&& array == rq->active).

Thanks in advance for any comments.
