[PATCH] Check whether the wakeup task is eligible first

From: Bala <kumaran.4353@xxxxxxxxx>

check_prempt_wakeup_fair is checking whether the current task has to be
preempted by the newly wake-up task. To avoid multiple swaps the logic
is decided as if the wake-up task is the best task then only preempt the
current task.

In CFS time, getting the best task was as simple as piking the left-most
node. But in EEVDF non-fast path, the entire tree has to be traversed in
a worst case scenario.

So, IMHO let's first check the newly wake-up task is eligible before
searching for the best task. At least until the comment becomes
effective to preempt the curr irrespective of the waking task.
