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.
