sched/rt: Plug rt_mutex_setprio() vs push_rt_task() race

John reported that push_rt_task() can end up invoking
find_lowest_rq(rq->curr) when curr is not an RT task (in this case a CFS
one), which causes mayhem down convert_prio().

This can happen when current gets demoted to e.g. CFS when releasing an
rt_mutex, and the local CPU gets hit with an rto_push_work irqwork before
getting the chance to reschedule. Exactly who triggers this work isn't
entirely clear to me - switched_from_rt() only invokes rt_queue_pull_task()
if there are no RT tasks on the local RQ, which means the local CPU can't
be in the rto_mask.

My current suspected sequence is something along the lines of the below,
with the demoted task being current.

  mark_wakeup_next_waiter()
    rt_mutex_adjust_prio()
      rt_mutex_setprio() // deboost originally-CFS task
	check_class_changed()
	  switched_from_rt() // Only rt_queue_pull_task() if !rq->rt.rt_nr_running
	  switched_to_fair() // Sets need_resched
      __balance_callbacks() // if pull_rt_task(), tell_cpu_to_push() can't select local CPU per the above
      raw_spin_rq_unlock(rq)

       // need_resched is set, so task_woken_rt() can't
       // invoke push_rt_tasks(). Best I can come up with is
       // local CPU has rt_nr_migratory >= 2 after the demotion, so stays
       // in the rto_mask, and then:

       <some other CPU running rto_push_irq_work_func() queues rto_push_work on this CPU>
	 push_rt_task()
	   // breakage follows here as rq->curr is CFS

Move an existing check to check rq->curr vs the next pushable task's
priority before getting anywhere near find_lowest_rq(). While at it, add an
explicit sched_class of rq->curr check prior to invoking
find_lowest_rq(rq->curr). Align the DL logic to also reschedule regardless
of next_task's migratability.
