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)

CPU does not run low priority task.")
