task_pri is used as an index into pri_to_cpu. Although I don't see how this can be called for a non RT task, the safer solution is below.

From 606aa467c9a51c09ce4efa320db45eee59a9bd06 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: "Steven Rostedt (Red Hat)" <rostedt@goodmis.org> Date: Sun, 13 Apr 2014 09:34:53 -0400 Subject: [PATCH] sched: Use CPUPRI_NR_PRIORITIES instead of MAX_RT_PRIO in cpupri check
The check at the beginning of cpupri_find() makes sure that the task_pri variable does not exceed the cp->pri_to_cpu array length. But that length is CPUPRI_NR_PRIORITIES not MAX_RT_PRIO, where it will miss the last two priorities in that array.
