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 c365c292d0590 "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.
