For two reasons:
1. (from Abel Wu) 
It doesn't need to, but it can actually bring some benefit from
the point of view of text size, especially in warehouse-scale
computers where icache is extremely contended.

add/remove: 0/0 grow/shrink: 0/1 up/down: 0/-56 (-56)
Function                                     old     new   delta
enqueue_task_fair                            936     880     -56
Total: Before=64899, After=64843, chg -0.09%

2. For better code comprehension
I became curious when I reached this part, wondering why there is a lot of 
repetition inside these two for-loops. Then I thought about 'do not repeat yourself,' 
and I feel that merging them would lead to a clearer understanding. Of course, 
it might be because I am just starting to read scheduler-related code and am not
yet familiar with the entire logic.

Due to the two points mentioned above, do we need to adjust all four functions?

I plan to get familiar with the scheduler-related code first and then consider this.
