[patch] sched: call resched_task() conditionally from new taskwake up path.

[Bharata B Rao]

Hi,

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.
