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.
