Gregory Haskins 1563513d34 RT: fix push_rt_task() to handle dequeue_pushable properly 
A panic was discovered by Chirag Jog where a BUG_ON sanity check
in the new "pushable_task" logic would trigger a panic under
certain circumstances:

http://lkml.org/lkml/2008/9/25/189

Gilles Carry discovered that the root cause was attributed to the
pushable_tasks list getting corrupted in the push_rt_task logic.
This was the result of a dropped rq lock in double_lock_balance
allowing a task in the process of being pushed to potentially migrate
away, and thus corrupt the pushable_tasks() list.

I traced back the problem as introduced by the pushable_tasks patch
that went in recently.   There is a "retry" path in push_rt_task()
that actually had a compound conditional to decide whether to
retry or exit.  I missed the meaning behind the rationale for the
virtual "if(!task) goto out;" portion of the compound statement and
thus did not handle it properly.  The new pushable_tasks logic
actually creates three distinct conditions:

1) an untouched and unpushable task should be dequeued
2) a migrated task where more pushable tasks remain should be retried
3) a migrated task where no more pushable tasks exist should exit

The original logic mushed (1) and (3) together, resulting in the
system dequeuing a migrated task (against an unlocked foreign run-queue
nonetheless).

To fix this, we get rid of the notion of "paranoid" and we support the
three unique conditions properly.  The paranoid feature is no longer
relevant with the new pushable logic (since pushable naturally limits
the loop) anyway, so lets just remove it.
