sched/core: Optimize pick_next_task()

Ever since we moved the sched_class definitions into their own files,
the constant expression {fair,idle}_sched_class.pick_next_task() is
not in fact a compile time constant anymore and results in an indirect
call (barring LTO).

Fix that by exposing pick_next_task_{fair,idle}() directly, this gets
rid of the indirect call (and RETPOLINE) on the fast path.

Also remove the unlikely() from the idle case, it is in fact /the/ way
we select idle -- and that is a very common thing to do.

Performance for will-it-scale/sched_yield improves by 2% (as reported
by 0-day).
