[RFC][PATCH 03/17] sched: Change the ttwu success details

[Peter Zijlstra]

try_to_wake_up() would only return a success when it would have to
place a task on a rq, change that to every time we change p->state to
TASK_RUNNING, because that's the real measure of wakeups.

This results in that success is always true for the tracepoints.
