[patch 03/10] sched/core: Wait for tasks being pushed away on hotplug

[Thomas Gleixner <tglx@linutronix.de>]

RT kernels need to ensure that all tasks which are not per CPU kthreads
have left the outgoing CPU to guarantee that no tasks are force migrated
within a migrate disabled section.

There is also some desire to (ab)use fine grained CPU hotplug control to
clear a CPU from active state to force migrate tasks which are not per CPU
kthreads away for power control purposes.

Add a mechanism which waits until all tasks which should leave the CPU
after the CPU active flag is cleared have moved to a different online CPU.
