sched/eevdf: Fix wakeup-preempt by checking cfs_rq->nr_running
Commit 85e511df3cec ("sched/eevdf: Allow shorter slices to wakeup-preempt")
introduced a mechanism that a wakee with shorter slice could preempt
the current running task. It also lower the bar for the current task
to be preempted, by checking the rq->nr_running instead of cfs_rq->nr_running
when the current task has ran out of time slice. But there is a scenario
that is problematic. Say, if there is 1 cfs task and 1 rt task, before
85e511df3cec, update_deadline() will not trigger a reschedule, and after
85e511df3cec, since rq->nr_running is 2 and resched is true, a resched_curr()
would happen.
Some workloads (like the hackbench reported by lkp) do not like
over-scheduling. We can see that the preemption rate has been
increased by 2.2%:
1.654e+08 +2.2% 1.69e+08 hackbench.time.involuntary_context_switches
Restore its previous check criterion.
