Subject[PATCH 1/3] sched: add sched_task_call()
Date
Add a sched_task_call() to allow a callback function to be called with
the task's rq locked. It guarantees that a task remains either active
or inactive during the function call, without having to expose rq
locking details outside of the scheduler.
