Subject: [PATCH] sched: Remove nested extern

Avoid W=2 nested-externs warning by moving the nested extern to
a normal extern. This eliminates that warning which is generated
for every inclusion of sched.h in a kernel build when W=2 is used.
This also removes a point of maintenance if the definition of
delayacct_on were ever to change.
