[PATCH] sched: unthrottle rt_rq in migrate_tasks()

[Peter Boonstoppel]

migrate_tasks() uses _pick_next_task_rt() to get tasks from the
real-time runqueue to be migrated. When rt_rq is throttled
_pick_next_task_rt() won't return anything, in which case
migrate_tasks() can't move all threads over and gets stuck in an
infinite loop.

Instead unthrottle rt_rq before migrating tasks.
