[PATCH v2] sched/deadline: reduce rq lock contention by eliminating locking of non-feasible target

[Wanpeng Li]

This patch adds checks that prevents futile attempts to move dl tasks to
a CPU with active tasks of equal or earlier deadline. The same behavior as
commit 80e3d87b2c55 ("sched/rt: Reduce rq lock contention by eliminating
locking of non-feasible target") for rt class.
