Subject: [PATCH V2 1/2] sched/fair: Rearrange select_task_rq_fair() to optimize it

Rearrange select_task_rq_fair() a bit to avoid executing some
conditional statements in few specific code-paths. That gets rid of the
goto as well.

This shouldn't result in any functional changes.

Signed-off-by: Viresh Kumar <viresh.kumar@...aro.org>
Tested-by: Rohit Jain <rohit.k.jain@...cle.com>

---
V1->V2:
- Optimize a bit more and get rid of affine_sd variable (Valentin)
- Add unlikely while checking for non-NULL sd and add fast/slow path
  comments (Joel)
- Add tested-by from Rohit.
