Subject: [PATCH] sched: Prevent balance_push() on remote runqueues
sched_setscheduler() and rt_mutex_setprio() invoke the run-queue balance callback after changing priorities or the scheduling class of a task. The run-queue for which the callback is invoked can be local or remote.
That's not a problem for the regular rq::push_work which is serialized with a busy flag in the run-queue struct, but for the balance_push() work which is only valid to be invoked on the outgoing CPU that's wrong. It not only triggers the debug warning, but also leaves the per CPU variable push_work unprotected, which can result in double enqueues on the stop machine list.
Remove the warning and validate that the function is invoked on the outgoing CPU.
