Subject: [PATCH] sched/fair: Remove the redundant check in numa_id_core

the numa_idle_core() function have a little redundant. then this patch
move the "idle_core >= 0" check in numa_idle_core() to its caller in
update_numa_stats() and then remove the redundant check in
!static_branch_likely(&sched_smt_present) check in numa_idle_core.

This patch is based on the following discussion:
https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/20210322101556.GK15768@suse.de/
