Should we also be falling back to the global DSQ if we fail the check
when called from process_ddsp_deferred_locals()?  This patch doesn't
change anything given that we'd have the same behavior before if we
failed the cpumask_test_cpu(cpu_of(dst_rq), p->cpus_ptr) check, but I'm
not following why we would need to fall back to global DSQ in
finish_dispatch(), but not in process_ddsp_deferred_locals().

This doesn't affect the rest of the cleanup + fix, which LGTM:
