Re: [git] CFS-devel, group scheduler, fixes

[ well, don't expect to find here anything like RDCFS
(no, 'D' does not stand for 'dumb'!). I was focused
on more prosaic things in the mean time so just
didn't have time for writing it.. ]

here is a few cleanup/simplification/optimization(s)
based on the recent modifications in the sched-dev tree.

(1) optimize task_new_fair()
(2) simplify yield_task()
(3) rework enqueue/dequeue_entity() to get rid of
sched_class::set_curr_task()

additionally, the changes somewhat decrease code size:

   text    data     bss     dec     hex filename
  43538    5398      48   48984    bf58 build/kernel/sched.o.before
  43250    5390      48   48688    be30 build/kernel/sched.o

(SMP + lots of debugging options but, I guess, in this case the diff
should remain visible for any combination).

(1)

due to the fact that we no longer keep the 'current' within the tree,
dequeue/enqueue_entity() is useless for the 'current' in task_new_fair().
We are about to reschedule and sched_class->put_prev_task() will put
the 'current' back into the tree, based on its new key.
