Subject[PATCH v2 2/6] sched/rt: Re-instate old behavior in select_task_rq_rt
Date
When RT Capacity Aware support was added, the logic in select_task_rq_rt
was modified to force a search for a fitting CPU if the task currently
doesn't run on one.

But if the search failed, and the search was only triggered to fulfill
the fitness request; we could end up selecting a new CPU unnecessarily.

Fix this and re-instate the original behavior by ensuring we bail out
in that case.

This behavior change only affected asymmetric systems that are using
util_clamp to implement capacity aware. None asymmetric systems weren't
affected.
