[PATCH v3 3/4] sched/rt: Remove redundant conditions from task_woken_rt()

[Xunlei Pang <xlpang@126.com>]

From: Xunlei Pang <pang.xunlei@linaro.org>

- Remove "has_pushable_tasks(rq)".
  Because for queued p, "!task_running(rq, p)" and "p->nr_cpus_allowed > 1"
  already imply that "has_pushable_tasks(rq)" is true.

- Remove "!test_tsk_need_resched(rq->curr)".
  The condtion mainly intends to ensure higher priority rt tasks won't be pushed
  away. I can think of two reasons below for getting rid of it.
  1) With following "rq->curr->prio <= p->prio", we still can guarantee that
     purpose. "rq->curr->prio <= p->prio" implies the "need resched flag" wasn't
     set by check_preempt_curr() except the one set by check_preempt_equal_prio()
     for equal prio cases(In this case, if the condition is removed, it may result
     in an extra push_rt_tasks(), but this doesn't cause the wrong logic, in fact
     this extra push_rt_tasks() will probably return quickly for the case).

     Addtionally, there're also cases the "need resched flag" got set before the
     waking, with current implementation it needn't to push lower priority tasks
     as the cpu will schedule, while it will do an extra pushing if the condition
     is removed. But on the other hand, we can get a timely pushing for the woken
     tasks after the condition is removed(better for the non-preemptible kernel).

  2) With following condtion "rq->curr->nr_cpus_allowed < 2" which was added by
     commit b3bc211cfe7d ("sched: Give CPU bound RT tasks preference"), in the
     scenario descibed in it, "need resched flag" was already set before by
     check_preempt_curr(), thus "!test_tsk_need_resched(rq->curr)" is always false
     which means with current implementation the commit is futile for task_woken_rt().
  So, by removing this condition, we get the right logic.
