sched/deadline: Reduce rq lock contention by eliminating locking of non-feasible target

This patch adds a check that prevents futile attempts to move DL tasks
to a CPU with active tasks of equal or earlier deadline. The same
behavior as commit 80e3d87b2c55 ("sched/rt: Reduce rq lock contention
by eliminating locking of non-feasible target") for rt class.
