Re: [PATCH RESEND] sched: Convert paravirt_steal to new static key APIs

Hi Hongyan.

From: Hongyan Xia <redacted>

paravirt_steal_rq_enabled and paravirt_steal_enabled use raw static_key
APIs which are now deprecated. Use the new API instead.

No functional change.
FWIW, looks good to me. One minor nit.

nit:

This looks bit odd to see includes in the middle. I know it is including
only if necessary.
maybe worth an unconditional include in the beginning?
