Thomas Gleixner 0782e63bc6 sched: Handle priority boosted tasks proper in setscheduler() 
Ronny reported that the following scenario is not handled correctly:

	T1 (prio = 10)
	   lock(rtmutex);

	T2 (prio = 20)
	   lock(rtmutex)
	      boost T1

	T1 (prio = 20)
	   sys_set_scheduler(prio = 30)
	   T1 prio = 30
	   ....
	   sys_set_scheduler(prio = 10)
	   T1 prio = 30

The last step is wrong as T1 should now be back at prio 20.

Commit c365c292d0 ("sched: Consider pi boosting in setscheduler()")
only handles the case where a boosted tasks tries to lower its
priority.

Fix it by taking the new effective priority into account for the
decision whether a change of the priority is required.
