sched: use highest_prio.curr for pull threshold

highest_prio.curr is actually a more accurate way to keep track of
the pull_rt_task() threshold since it is always up to date, even
if the "next" task migrates during double_lock.  Therefore, stop
looking at the "next" task object and simply use the highest_prio.curr.
