Merge 'Linux v3.0' into Litmus

Some notes:
* Litmus^RT scheduling class is the topmost scheduling class
  (above stop_sched_class).
* scheduler_ipi() function (e.g., in smp_reschedule_interrupt())
  may increase IPI latencies.
* Added path into schedule() to quickly re-evaluate scheduling
  decision without becoming preemptive again. This used to be
  a standard path before the removal of BKL.
