[PATCH 0/3] [GIT PULL] sched: clean ups and a minor fix

[Steven Rostedt]

Ingo,

The first of the patches is a minor fix to when a woken RT task is about
to preempt a pinned RT task, push_rt_task() is called to try to
migrate the woken task if possible (to avoid preempting a pinned RT
task that may be the second highest priority task in the system).

But the issue is that push_rt_task() won't push it if the woken task
is higher priority even if the task to be preempted is pinned.

The second two patches is more of a clean up to remove the idle
hooks in the scheduler proper, and to use the pre/post schedule
methods instead.

This allows interrupts to be enabled in the idle balance, which slightly
helps latencies, especially for the -rt kernel. Other patches can be
added on top. Maybe in the future preemption could be enabled during
the idle balance as well. But that remains to be seen.
