sched/rt: Fix lockdep annotation within find_lock_lowest_rq()

Browse source 
Roland Dreier reported spurious, hard to trigger lockdep warnings
within the scheduler - without any real lockup.

This bit gives us the right clue:

> [89945.640512]  [<ffffffff8103fa1a>] double_lock_balance+0x5a/0x90
> [89945.640568]  [<ffffffff8104c546>] push_rt_task+0xc6/0x290

if you look at that code you'll find the double_lock_balance() in
question is the one in find_lock_lowest_rq() [yay for inlining].

Now find_lock_lowest_rq() has a bug.. it fails to use
double_unlock_balance() in one exit path, if this results in a retry in
push_rt_task() we'll call double_lock_balance() again, at which point
we'll run into said lockdep confusion.
