[PATCH][V2] sched/rt: Print curr when RT throttling activated

[Alexandru Ardelean]

From: Xianting Tian <tian.xianting@xxxxxxx>

We may meet the issue, that one RT thread occupied the cpu by 950ms/1s,
The RT thread maybe is a business thread or other unknown thread.

Currently, it only outputs the print "sched: RT throttling activated"
when RT throttling happen. It is hard to know what is the RT thread,
For further analysis, we need add more prints.

This patch is to print current RT task when RT throttling activated,
It help us to know what is the RT thread in the first time.

Initial patch submission:
  https://lore.kernel.org/all/f3265adc26d4416dacf157f61fa60ad6@xxxxxxx/T/

We've been having some issues of our own with some applications + some RT
configuration == some threads endded up taking too much CPU time.
This patch came in quite in handy to see in logs which thread is more
problematic.

We've applied this patch onto a 5.10.116 tree. It did need a bit of
re-applying since some context has changed since the initial version (hence
the V2 tag).
Since 5.10.116 (where we used it), it applied nicely to the latest/current
linux-next tree (hence the Tested-by tag).

It would be nice to apply this to the mainline kernel and have this handy.
