Subject[PATCH 2/2] sched/rt: Up the root domain ref count when passing it around via IPIs
From: "Steven Rostedt (VMware)" <rostedt@goodmis.org>

When issuing an IPI RT push, where an IPI is sent to each CPU that has more
than one RT task scheduled on it, it references the root domain's rto_mask,
that contains all the CPUs within the root domain that has more than one RT
task in the runable state. The problem is, after the IPIs are initiated, the
rq->lock is released. This means that the root domain that is associated to
the run queue could be freed while the IPIs are going around.

Add a sched_get_rd() and a sched_put_rd() that will increment and decrement
the root domain's ref count respectively. This way when initiating the IPIs,
the scheduler will up the root domain's ref count before releasing the
rq->lock, ensuring that the root domain does not go away until the IPI round
is complete.
