sched/rt: Fix rq's cpupri leak while enqueue/dequeue child RT entities

commit 757dfcaa41844595964f1220f1d33182dae49976 upstream.

This patch touches the RT group scheduling case.

Functions inc_rt_prio_smp() and dec_rt_prio_smp() change (global) rq's
priority, while rt_rq passed to them may be not the top-level rt_rq.
This is wrong, because changing of priority on a child level does not
guarantee that the priority is the highest all over the rq. So, this
leak makes RT balancing unusable.

The short example: the task having the highest priority among all rq's
RT tasks (no one other task has the same priority) are waking on a
throttle rt_rq.  The rq's cpupri is set to the task's priority
equivalent, but real rq->rt.highest_prio.curr is less.

The patch below fixes the problem.
