BACKPORT: sched/rt: Reduce rq lock contention by eliminating locking of non-feasible target


This patch adds checks that prevens futile attempts to move rt tasks
to a CPU with active tasks of equal or higher priority.

This reduces run queue lock contention and improves the performance of
a well known OLTP benchmark by 0.7%.

Bug: 37474896

(@joel: One of the hunks in this patch was already applied by Srinath in
commit [1], so dropping that hunk)
[1] commit 89288d85 ("sched/rt: Avoid moving rt task if destination
CPU does not run low priority task.")
