[PATCH v2] sched/core: Remove unnecessary check for next_task in push_{rt,dl}_task()

From: Muchun Song
Date: Sat Nov 03 2018 - 23:51:37 EST


In push_{rt,dl}_task(), we call pick_next_pushable{_dl}_task() to
pick next_task before the check. If next_task and rq->curr are equal,
which will trigger BUG_ON() in pick_next_pushable{_dl}_task(). See
the following code in pick_next_pushable{_dl}_task().

static struct task_struct *pick_next_pushable{_dl}_task(struct rq *rq)
{
BUG_ON(task_current(rq, p));
}

The task_current() will check if task p and rq->curr are equal.
So, we can remove the unnecessary check in push_{rt,dl}_task().
