[RFC PATCH v2 09/17] sched: Introduce sched_class::pick_task()

[Vineeth Remanan Pillai <vpillai@digitalocean.com>]

From: "Peter Zijlstra (Intel)" <peterz@infradead.org>

Because sched_class::pick_next_task() also implies
sched_class::set_next_task() (and possibly put_prev_task() and
newidle_balance) it is not state invariant. This makes it unsuitable
for remote task selection.
