Yes, please consider these minor cleanups on top of for_each_thread
conversions.

read_lock_irq(tasklist) in normalize_rt_tasks() doesn't really hurt,
but it looks confusing. If we really have a reason to disable irqs
this (subtle) reason should be documented.

And I can't understand tg_has_rt_tasks(). Don't we need something
like the patch below? If not, please do not ask me why I think so,
I don't understand this black magic ;) But the usage of the global
"runqueues" array looks suspicious.

Oleg.
