[PATCH 1/3] sched: Allow hrticks to work with core scheduling

[Alexander Graf]

The core scheduling logic bypasses the scheduling class's
pick_next_task() which starts the hrtick logic usually. Instead,
it explicitly calls set_next_task() or leaves the current task
running without any callback into the CFS scheduler.

To ensure that we still configure the hrtick timer properly when we
know which task we want to run, let's add an explicit callback to
the scheduler class which can then be triggered from the core's
pick_next_task().

With this patch, core scheduling with HRTICK enabled does see
improved responsiveness on scheduling decisions.
