Yes, right and if the task needs to wakeup on a remote CPU, then it
follows an reschedule IPI. But, what I was missing that, I wasn't sure
whether task gets added to wake_list only from ttwu_queue_remote() or
not. Now, I've found that - it is and you are right rq->wake_list only
have TASK_WAKING state.

I think it's quite clear to me now. And you are learning scheduler
well at-least better than me :)
