Linus Torvalds f4b936f5d6 A couple of scheduler fixes:
- Make the conditional update of the overutilized state work correctly by
    caching the relevant flags state before overwriting them and checking
    them afterwards.
 
  - Fix a data race in the wakeup path which caused loadavg on ARM64
    platforms to become a random number generator.
 
  - Fix the ordering of the iowaiter accounting operations so it can't be
    decremented before it is incremented.
 
  - Fix a bug in the deadline scheduler vs. priority inheritance when a
    non-deadline task A has inherited the parameters of a deadline task B
    and then blocks on a non-deadline task C.
 
    The second inheritance step used the static deadline parameters of task
    A, which are usually 0, instead of further propagating task B's
    parameters. The zero initialized parameters trigger a bug in the
    deadline scheduler.
