Gregory Haskins e7693a362e sched: de-SCHED_OTHER-ize the RT path
The current wake-up code path tries to determine if it can optimize the
wake-up to "this_cpu" by computing load calculations.  The problem is that
these calculations are only relevant to SCHED_OTHER tasks where load is king.
For RT tasks, priority is king.  So the load calculation is completely wasted
bandwidth.

Therefore, we create a new sched_class interface to help with
pre-wakeup routing decisions and move the load calculation as a function
of CFS task's class.
