[PATCH] sched/core: Optimize the process of picking the max prio task for the core

From: Cruz Zhao
Date: Thu Sep 29 2022 - 03:18:59 EST


When we pick the max prio task for the core in the case of
sched_core_enabled(), if there's a task with a higher prio sched
class in the runqueue of a SMT, it's not necessary for other SMTs
to traverse lower prio sched classes. So we can change the traversal
order: for each sched class, if there exists a max prio task among
the core, pick it and break the loop.

To compare the prio of the tasks with the same sched class, we
introduce sched_class::prio_less().
