Subject: [PATCH] sched/core: Minor optimize ttwu_runnable()

ttwu_runnable() is used as a fast wakeup path when the wakee task
is between set_current_state() and schedule(), in which case all
we need to do is change p->state back to TASK_RUNNING. So we don't
need to update_rq_clock() and check_preempt_curr() in this case.

Some performance numbers using mmtests/perfpipe on Intel Xeon server:
