Subject: [PATCH 1/3] sched/core: Provide a method to check if a task is PI-boosted.
From: Sebastian Andrzej Siewior <[email-masked]>
Date: Fri, 4 Aug 2023 13:30:37 +0200

Provide a method to check if a task inherited the priority from another
task. This happens if a task owns a lock which is requested by a task
with higher priority. This can be used as a hint to add a preemption
point to the critical section.

Provide a function which reports true if the task is PI-boosted.
