Subject: [PATCH] sched: Run task on same cpu if idle and allowed

commit 1954630a0637ad1ec2dcfe0324a36cd243f018ee in tip.

The current RT balancer does not consider CPU topology and may
wakeup a process to run on another CPU although it might run
on the current.

This patch adds a check and runs the new task on the current CPU,
if it
    - is an RT task,
    - is allowed to run on the current CPU, and
    - current is not an RT task,
