sched: Use rt.nr_cpus_allowed to recover select_task_rq() cycles

rt.nr_cpus_allowed is always available, use it to bail from select_task_rq()
when only one cpu can be used, and saves some cycles for pinned tasks.

See the line marked with '*' below:

  # taskset -c 3 pipe-test

   PerfTop:     997 irqs/sec  kernel:89.5%  exact:  0.0% [1000Hz cycles],  (all, CPU: 3)
