score: PR2181: Add _Thread_Yield()
The _Scheduler_Yield() was called by the executing thread with thread dispatching disabled and interrupts enabled. The rtems_task_suspend() is explicitly allowed in ISRs: http://rtems.org/onlinedocs/doc-current/share/rtems/html/c_user/Interrupt-Manager-Directives-Allowed-from-an-ISR.html#Interrupt-Manager-Directives-Allowed-from-an-ISR Unlike the other scheduler operations the locking was performed inside the operation. This lead to the following race condition. Suppose a ISR suspends the executing thread right before the yield scheduler operation. Now the executing thread is not longer in the set of ready threads. The typical scheduler operations did not check the thread state and will now extract the thread again and enqueue it. This corrupted data structures. Add _Thread_Yield() and do the scheduler yield operation with interrupts disabled. This has a negligible effect on the interrupt latency.
