sched/rt/nohz: Stop scheduler tick if running realtime task

Browse Source 
If the CPU is running a realtime task that does not round-robin
with another realtime task of equal priority, there is no point
in keeping the scheduler tick going. After all, whenever the
scheduler tick runs, the kernel will just decide not to
reschedule.

Extend sched_can_stop_tick() to recognize these situations, and
inform the rest of the kernel that the scheduler tick can be
stopped.
