Subject: [PATCH] sched: minor optimizations in wake_affine and
	select_task_rq_fair

Hello,

Please consider this patch. It makes a few minor changes to
sched_fair.c.


sched: Minor optimizations in wake_affine and select_task_rq_fair

This patch does following:
o Reduces the number of arguments to wake_affine().
o Removes unused variable "rq".
o Optimizes one of the "if" conditions in wake_affine() - i.e.  if
  "balanced" is true, we need not do rest of the calculations in the
  condition.
o If this cpu is same as the previous cpu (on which woken up task
  was running when it went to sleep), no need to call wake_affine at all.
