sched/rt: Skip group schedulable check with rt_group_sched=0

Browse source

The warning from the commit 87f1fb77d8 ("sched: Add RT_GROUP WARN
checks for non-root task_groups") is wrong -- it assumes that only
task_groups with rt_rq are traversed, however, the schedulability check
would iterate all task_groups even when rt_group_sched=0 is disabled at
boot time but some non-root task_groups exist.

The schedulability check is supposed to validate:
  a) that children don't overcommit its parent,
  b) no RT task group overcommits global RT limit.
but with rt_group_sched=0 there is no (non-trivial) hierarchy of RT groups,
therefore skip the validation altogether. Otherwise, writes to the
global sched_rt_runtime_us knob will be rejected with incorrect
validation error.

This fix is immaterial with CONFIG_RT_GROUP_SCHED=n.
