Subject[PATCH v4] sched/rt : Reduce push_rt_task() retries
Date
Improve push_rt_task() by propagating the double_lock_balance() 
usage from find_lock_lowest_rq(), thereby reducing the number
of cases where we have to assume rq->lock was dropped.
When CONFIG_PREEMPT=n, Unnecessary retries frequently happens
in a simple test case:
Four different rt priority tasks are restricted to run on two
cpus.

Thanks for Steven Rostedt's advice.
