Subject: [PATCH 1/6] sched/rt: check if curr can be pushed/pulled somewhere else in advance

This patch checks if current can be pushed/pulled somewhere else 
in advance to make logic clear.

- If current can't be migrated, useless to reschedule, let's hope 
  task can move out.
- If task is migratable, so let's not schedule it and see if it 
  can be pushed or pulled somewhere else.
