sched: avoid false lockdep splat in put_task_struct()



In put_task_struct(), a spin_lock is indirectly acquired under the kernel
stock. When running the kernel in real-time (RT) configuration, the
operation is dispatched to a preemptible context call to ensure
guaranteed preemption. However, if PROVE_RAW_LOCK_NESTING is enabled
and __put_task_struct() is called while holding a raw_spinlock, lockdep
incorrectly reports an "Invalid lock context" in the stock kernel.

This false splat occurs because lockdep is unaware of the different
route taken under RT. To address this issue, override the inner wait
type to prevent the false lockdep splat.
