[ Upstream commit 2fe2582649aa2355f79acddb86bd4d6c5363eb63 ]
The rcutorture test suite occasionally provokes a splat due to invoking rt_mutex_lock() which needs to boost the priority of a task currently sitting on a runqueue that belongs to an offline CPU:

But the target task's priority has already been adjusted, so the only purpose of switched_to_rt() invoking resched_curr() is to wake up the CPU running some task that needs to be preempted by the boosted task. But the CPU is offline, which presumably means that the task must be migrated to some other CPU, and that this other CPU will undertake any needed preemption at the time of migration. Because the runqueue lock is held when resched_curr() is invoked, we know that the boosted task cannot go anywhere, so it is not necessary to invoke resched_curr() in this particular case.
This commit therefore makes switched_to_rt() refrain from invoking resched_curr() when the target CPU is offline.
