[PATCH 2/2][v3] sched: Extract the task putting code from pick_next_task()

From: Chen Yu
Date: Tue Apr 21 2020 - 06:50:19 EST


Introduce a new function put_prev_task_balance() to do the balance
when necessary, and then put previous task back to the run queue.
This function is extracted from pick_next_task() to prepare for
future usage by other type of task picking logic.

No functional change.

v3: According to Steven's suggestion, fix the comment
to change put_next_task() to put_prev_task()

Rename finish_prev_task() to put_prev_task_balance()
as this reflects what we do before picking a new task.

Per Valentin's suggestion, put the declaration of
struct sched_class within the ifdef, given it isn't
used outside of it.
