[sched/rt] Optimization of function pull_rt_task()

From: Kirill Tkhai
Date: Sun Apr 15 2012 - 15:44:07 EST


The condition (src_rq->rt.rt_nr_running) is weak because it doesn't
consider the cases when src_rq has only processes bound to it (when
single cpu is allowed). It may be running kernel thread like
migration/x etc.

So it's better to use more stronger condition which is able to exclude
above conditions. The function has_pushable_tasks() complitely does
this. A task may be pullable for another cpu rq only if he is pushable
for his own queue.
