sched/rt: Prevent idle task boosting
Idle task boosting is a nono in general. There is one exception, when PREEMPT_RT and NOHZ is active: The idle task calls get_next_timer_interrupt() and holds the timer wheel base->lock on the CPU and another CPU wants to access the timer (probably to cancel it). We can safely ignore the boosting request, as the idle CPU runs this code with interrupts disabled and will complete the lock protected section without being interrupted. So there is no real need to boost.
