[patch] sched: optimize activate_task for RT task - v2

["Chen, Kenneth W" <kenneth.w.chen@intel.com>]

Perhaps the following is a better patch compare to earlier one.
The p->sleep_type are only for SCHED_NORMAL as well, so we can
bypass them altogether in one shot.




RT task does not participate in interactiveness priority and thus
shouldn't be bothered with timestamp and p->sleep_type manipulation
when task is being put on run queue.  Bypass all of the them with
a single if (rt_task) test.
