Subject[PATCH 3/3] sched/rt: Optimize select_task_rq_rt() for non-RT curr task
Date
When selecting the cpu for a waking RT task, if curr is a non-RT
task which is bound only on this cpu, then we can give it a chance
to select a different cpu(definitely an idle cpu if existing) for
the RT task to avoid curr starving.
