In order to be able to use pull_dl_task() from a callback, we need to do away with the return value. Since the return value indicates if we should reschedule, do this inside the function. Since not all callers currently do this, this can increase the number of reschedules due rt balancing. Too many reschedules is not a correctness issues, too few are.
