sched/rt: Minimize rq->lock contention in do_sched_rt_period_timer()

With CONFIG_RT_GROUP_SCHED=y, do_sched_rt_period_timer() sequentially
takes each CPU's rq->lock. On a large, busy system, the cumulative time it
takes to acquire each lock can be excessive, even triggering a watchdog
timeout.

If rt_rq->rt_time and rt_rq->rt_nr_running are both zero, this function does
nothing while holding the lock, so don't bother taking it at all.
