[PATCH 3/3] sched/rt: Remove redundant check before push_rt_task()

[Hiroshi Shimamoto]

From: Hiroshi Shimamoto <h-shimamoto@ct.jp.nec.com>

Currently rq->rt.overloaded is checked twice in switched_to_rt().
Remove the first one which out of push_rt_task().

Steven was this on purpose to avoid the call or can I apply this thing?

Yeah, I think I added that as a way to avoid the call, but I never did
any benchmarks to see if it was actually better (extra check to avoid
the call, or just do the call and remove the duplicate check).

It would be a good idea to see how ofter that check happens in the real
world. As two or more RT tasks on the same CPU is only something that
happens on a real RT system (as the common case that is).

It's a micro optimization, as a double duplicate check should be fast as
everything is nicely in the cache line. But an extra call may be
expensive. But it's not a big difference to me if you take the patch or
not.

If you decide to take this patch, it may be better to switch it to:

		/* Don't resched if we changed runqueues */
		if (push_rt_task(rq) && rq != task_rq(p))
