[PATCH] CPU Hotplug: restore Idle task's priority during CPU_DEAD notification
From: Srivatsa Vaddagiri <vatsa@in.ibm.com>
Fix a CPU Hotplug problem wherein idle task's "->prio" value is not
restored to MAX_PRIO during CPU_DEAD handling. Without this patch, once a
CPU is offlined and then later onlined, it becomes "more or less" useless
(does not run any task other than its idle task!)
Ingo said:
The __setscheduler() call is (technically) incorrect because in the
SCHED_NORMAL case the prio should be zero. So it's a bit cleaner to set up
the static priority to MAX_PRIO and then revert the policy to SCHED_NORMAL
via __setscheduler().
