Is it literally true? IIRC, we need ->pi_lock if the task is not active,
and rq->lock if p->on_rq = 1. And that is why we do not clear p->on_rq
between deactivate_task() + activate_task(), correct?

IOW, perhaps this should be

	WARN_ON_ONCE(debug_locks && !lockdep_is_held(p->on_rq ?
					&task_rq(p)->lock : &p->pi_lock))

?

Not that I really suggest to change this WARN_ON(), I am just trying
to recall the new rules.

Oleg.
