There is "generic" code in the PREEMPT_RT patch doing that. The counter
is incremented/ decremented via preempt_lazy_enable()/disable() and one
of the user is migrate_disable()/enable().
Basically if a task is task_is_realtime() then NEED_RESCHED is set for
the wakeup. For the remaining states (SCHED_OTHER, …) NEED_RESCHED_LAZY
is set for the wakeup. This can be delayed if the task is in a "preempt
disable lazy" section (similar to a preempt_disable() section) but a
task_is_realtime() can still be scheduled if needed.
