Dmitry Adamushko pointed out a logic error in task_wake_up_rt() where we
will always evaluate to "true".  You can find the thread here:

http://lkml.org/lkml/2008/4/22/296

In reality, we only want to try to push tasks away when a wake up request is
not going to preempt the current task.  So lets fix it.

Note: We introduce test_tsk_need_resched() instead of open-coding the flag
check so that the merge-conflict with -rt should help remind us that we
may need to support NEEDS_RESCHED_DELAYED in the future, too.
