sched/rt: small optimization to update_curr_rt()

Impact: micro-optimization to SCHED_FIFO/RR scheduling

A very minor improvement, but might it be better to check sched_rt_runtime(rt_rq)
before taking the rt_runtime_lock?

Peter Zijlstra observes:

>
>  - sched_rt_runtime() going to !RUNTIME_INF, and here we can miss an
>    accounting cycle, but I don't think that is something to worry too
>    much about.
