[PATCH v3 2/2] sched/rt: Remove unnecessary condition in push_rt_task()

From: Byungchul Park
Date: Wed Feb 15 2017 - 21:34:59 EST


pick_next_pushable_task(rq) has BUG_ON(rq_cpu != task_cpu(task)) when
it returns a task other than NULL, which means that task_cpu(task) must
be rq->cpu. So if task == next_task, then task_cpu(next_task) must be
rq->cpu as well. Remove the redundant condition and make code simpler.

By this patch, unnecessary one branch and two LOAD operations in 'if'
statement can be avoided.
