Hm I think so yes:
- push_dl_task() is an obvious noop if the pushable tree is empty
- pull_dl_task() can be kicked if !rq->dl.overloaded, which similarly to rt
  is driven by nr_migratory but could be boiled down to having pushable
  tasks (due to the nr_cpus_allowed > 1 constraint).

Lemme poke at it.
