sched: add sched_class->needs_post_schedule() member
We currently run class->post_schedule() outside of the rq->lock, which
means that we need to test for the need to post_schedule outside of
the lock to avoid a forced reacquistion. This is currently not a problem
as we only look at rq->rt.overloaded. However, we want to enhance this
going forward to look at more state to reduce the need to post_schedule to
a bare minimum set. Therefore, we introduce a new member-func called
needs_post_schedule() which tests for the post_schedule condtion without
actually performing the work. Therefore it is safe to call this
function before the rq->lock is released, because we are guaranteed not
to drop the lock at an intermediate point (such as what post_schedule()
may do).
We will use this later in the series
