Subject: sched: Add saved_state for tasks blocked on sleeping locks
From: Thomas Gleixner <tglx@linutronix.de>
Date: Sat, 25 Jun 2011 09:21:04 +0200

Spinlocks are state preserving in !RT. RT changes the state when a
task gets blocked on a lock. So we need to remember the state before
the lock contention. If a regular wakeup (not a RTmutex related
wakeup) happens, the saved_state is updated to running. When the lock
sleep is done, the saved state is restored.
