Subject[PATCH 0/4] sched/rt: Distribute tasks in find_lowest_rq()
Date
Now that we have a proper function that returns a 'random' CPU in a mask [1]
utilize that in find_lowest_rq() to solve the thundering herd issue described
in this thread

https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/20200219140243.wfljmupcrwm2jelo@e107158-lin/

But as a pre-amble, I noticed that the new cpumask_any_and_distribute() is
actually an alias for cpumask_any_and() which is documented as returning
a 'random' cpu but actually just does cpumask_first_and().

The first 3 patches cleanup the API so that the whole family of
cpumask_any*() take advantage of the new 'random' behavior and in patch
4 I convert the cpumask_first_and() --> cpumask_any_and() in find_lowest_rq()
to allow to better distribute the RT tasks that wake up simultaneously.
