Currently, the push_rt_task() only pushes the task if it is lower
priority than the currently running task.

But this is not the only check. If the currently running task is also
pinned, we may want to push as well, and we do this check when we wake
up a task, but then we are guaranteed to fail pushing the task because
the internal checks may fail.

Make the check the same as the wakeup checks. We could remove the
check in the wake up and just let the push_rt_task() do the work,
but this makes the wake up exit this check on the likely case that
"ok_to_push_task()" will fail, and that we don't need to do the
iterative loop of checks on the pushable task list.
