[PATCH 4.12 22/27] sched/fair: Simplify wake_affine() for the single socket case

[Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@linuxfoundation.org>]

4.12-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Rik van Riel <riel@redhat.com>

commit 7d894e6e34a5cdd12309c7e4a3f830277ad4b7bf upstream.

Then 'this_cpu' and 'prev_cpu' are in the same socket, select_idle_sibling()
will do its thing regardless of the return value of wake_affine().

Just return true and don't look at all the other things.
