Hm. I think you're right that this dequeue_pushable_task() call can be
removed, at least I didn't see it's reason for existing. I'd word it a
bit differently though, and not return 1 unless we really did push.

sched, rt: fix rq->rt.pushable_tasks bug in push_rt_task()

Do not call dequeue_pushable_task() when failing to push an eligible
task, as it remains pushable, merely not at this particular moment.
