[RFC][PATCH 4/7] sched,rt: Remove return value from pull_rt_task()

[Peter Zijlstra]

In order to be able to use pull_rt_task() from a callback, we need to
do away with the return value.

Since the return value indicates if we should reschedule, do this
inside the function. Since not all callers currently do this, this can
increase the number of reschedules due rt balancing.

Too many reschedules is not a correctness issues, too few are.
