From: Xunlei Pang <pang.xunlei@linaro.org>

Currently, SMP RT scheduler has some trouble in dealing with
equal prio cases.

For example, in check_preempt_equal_prio():
When RT1(current task) gets preempted by RT2, if there is a
migratable RT3 with same prio, RT3 will be pushed away instead
of RT1 afterwards, because RT1 will be enqueued to the tail of
the pushable list when going through succeeding put_prev_task_rt()
triggered by resched. This broke FIFO.

Furthermore, this is also problematic for normal preempted cases
if there're some rt tasks queued with the same prio as current,
because current will be put behind these tasks in the pushable
queue.

So, if a task is running and gets preempted by a higher priority
task (or even with same priority for migrating), this patch ensures
that it is put before any existing task with the same priority in
the pushable queue.
