[RFC v4][PATCH part-1 5/7] mm/asi: Exit/enter ASI when task enters/exits scheduler

From: Alexandre Chartre
Date: Mon May 04 2020 - 10:51:50 EST


Exit ASI as soon as a task is entering the scheduler (__schedule()),
otherwise ASI will likely quick fault, for example when accessing
run queues. The task will return to ASI when it is scheduled again.
