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.")
