Subject: [RFC PATCH 5/6] sched/dl: If the task does not fit anywhere, select the fastest core

From: luca abeni <luca.abeni@...tannapisa.it>

When a task has a remaining runtime that cannot be served within the
scheduling deadline by anyone of the idle cores, the task is doomed
to miss its deadline (this can happen, because the admission control
only guarantees a bounded tardiness, not the hard respect of all
deadlines). In this case, try to select the fastest idle core, to
minimize the tardiness.
