Subject[PATCH RFC] sched: Use sched-RCU in core-scheduling balancing logic
Date
rcu_read_unlock() can incur an infrequent deadlock in
sched_core_balance(). Fix this by using sched-RCU instead.

This fixes the following spinlock recursion observed when testing the
core scheduling patches on PREEMPT=y kernel on ChromeOS:
