Subject: [PATCH 1/6] sched: Fix ttwu_queue_cond()

Where the condition:

  !cpus_share_cache(smp_processor_id(), cpu)

already implies 'cpu != smp_processor_id()', because a CPU always
shares cache with itself, the secondary condition added in commit:

  2ebb17717550 ("sched/core: Offload wakee task activation if it the wakee is descheduling")

voids that implication, resulting in attempting to do local wake-ups
through the queue mechanism.

Fixes: 2ebb17717550 ("sched/core: Offload wakee task activation if it the wakee is descheduling")
