[ Upstream commit 1626e5ef0b00386a4fd083fa7c46c8edbd75f9b4 ]
While performing the rq locking dance in dispatch_to_local_dsq(), we may trigger the following lock imbalance condition, in particular when multiple tasks are rapidly changing CPU affinity (i.e., running a `stress-ng --race-sched 0`):
[ 13.413579] ===================================== [ 13.413660] WARNING: bad unlock balance detected!

This happens because dispatch_to_local_dsq() is racing with dispatch_dequeue() and, when the latter wins, we incorrectly assume that the task has been moved to dst_rq.
Fix by properly tracking the currently locked rq.
