[PATCH RT] sched: drop is_special_task_state() check from __set_current_state_no_track()

From: Sebastian Andrzej Siewior
Date: Wed Aug 01 2018 - 05:05:34 EST


The is_special_task_state() check in __set_current_state_no_track()
has been wrongly placed. __set_current_state_no_track() is used in RT
while a sleeping lock is acquired. It is used at the begin of the wait
loop with TASK_UNINTERRUPTIBLE and while leaving it and restoring the
original state. The latter part triggers the warning.

Drop the special state check. This is only used within the sleeping lock
implementation and the assignment happens while the PI lock is held.
While at it, drop set_current_state_no_track() because it has no users.
