sched: Queue a deboosted task to the head of the RT prio queue

rtmutex_set_prio() is used to implement priority inheritance for
futexes. When a task is deboosted it gets enqueued at the tail of its
RT priority list. This is violating the POSIX scheduling semantics:

rt priority list X contains two runnable tasks A and B

task A	 runs with priority X and holds mutex M
task C	 preempts A and is blocked on mutex M 
     	 -> task A is boosted to priority of task C (Y)
task A	 unlocks the mutex M and deboosts itself
     	 -> A is dequeued from rt priority list Y
	 -> A is enqueued to the tail of rt priority list X
task C	 schedules away
task B	 runs

This is wrong as task A did not schedule away and therefor violates
the POSIX scheduling semantics.

Enqueue the task to the head of the priority list instead.
