sched: Queue a deboosted task to the head of the RT prio queue
rtmutex_set_prio() is used to implement priority inheritance for
futexes. When a task is deboosted it gets enqueued at the tail of its
RT priority list. This is violating the POSIX scheduling semantics:
rt priority list X contains two runnable tasks A and B
task A runs with priority X and holds mutex M
task C preempts A and is blocked on mutex M
-> task A is boosted to priority of task C (Y)
task A unlocks the mutex M and deboosts itself
-> A is dequeued from rt priority list Y
-> A is enqueued to the tail of rt priority list X
task C schedules away
task B runs
This is wrong as task A did not schedule away and therefor violates
the POSIX scheduling semantics.
Enqueue the task to the head of the priority list instead.
