Subject: [PATCH v2] sched/fair: Remove the cost of a redundant cpumask_next_wrap in select_idle_cpu

From: Barry Song <song.bao.hua@...ilicon.com>

This patch keeps the same scanning amount, but drops a redundant loop
of cpumask_next_wrap.
The original code did for_each_cpu_wrap(cpu, cpus, target + 1), then
checked --nr; this patch does --nr before doing the next loop, thus,
it can remove a cpumask_next_wrap() which costs a little bit.
