the already existing single-task-wakeup shortcut method made available
by the scheduler is wake_up_process(). A number of primitives where
waitqueue overhead is of concern already make use of it.
(mutexes/rtmutexes and more)
if you need a different mode flag, then please extend the
wake_up_process() family of APIs.
