Subject: [PATCH] sched_rt: Removes extra checking for nr_cpus_allowed when
 calling find_lowest_rq

 sched_rt: Removes extra checking for nr_cpus_allowed when calling
find_lowest_rq

Remove the check for nr_cpus_allowed of an RT task before calling
find_lowest_cpu() from select_task_rq_rt function. Cause
find_lowest_cpu checks for rt.nr_cpus_allowed of a process.
It would've been nice, if we make the check before calling
find_lowest_cpu. But its called from other places, so keep the
nr_cpus_allowed check into find_lowest_cpu().
