[PATCH v2 4/4] sched/deadline: change cpudl_find() to return bool instead of best_cpu

From: pang.xunlei
Date: Wed Nov 19 2014 - 10:47:09 EST


cpudl_find() is not a good place to select the best cpu, so leave
this role to its call site, currently it is find_later_rq() where
we can do the election of the best cpu according to sd topology.
