[PATCH] sched/rt: Decrease number of calls of push_rt_task() in push_rt_tasks()

From: Kirill Tkhai
Date: Sun Jan 27 2013 - 18:46:44 EST


The patch aims to decrease the number of calls of push_rt_task()
in push_rt_tasks().

It's not necessary to push more than 'num_online_cpus() - 1' tasks.
If just pushed task doesn't leave its new CPU during our local call
of push_rt_tasks() than we won't push another task to the CPU.
If it leave or change priority than it will pull new task by itself.
