sched: call resched_task() conditionally from new task wake up path
- During wake up of a new task, task_new_fair() can do a resched_task()
on the current task. Later in the code path, check_preempt_curr() also ends
up doing the same, which can be avoided. Check if TIF_NEED_RESCHED is
already set for the current task.
- task_new_fair() does a resched_task() on the current task unconditionally.
This can be done only in case when child runs before the parent.
So this is a small speedup.
