as doing that include changing the scheduler lock
mapping for the pCPU itself, and the correct way
of doing that is:
 - take the lock that the pCPU is using right now
   (which may be the lock of another scheduler);
 - change the mapping of the lock to the RTDS one;
 - release the lock (the one that has actually been
   taken!)
