sched/cache: Fix checking active load balance by only considering the CFS task
The currently running task cur may not be a CFS task, such as an RT or Deadline task. For non-CFS tasks, the task_util(cur) utilization average is not maintained, so this might pass a stale or meaningless value to can_migrate_llc(). Check if the task is CFS before getting its task_util(). This bug was reported by sashiko.
