Subject: [PATCH v3] sched/core: Minor optimize ttwu_runnable()

ttwu_runnable() is used as a fast wakeup path when the wakee task
is running on CPU or runnable on RQ, in both cases we can just
set its state to TASK_RUNNING to prevent a sleep.

If the wakee task is on_cpu running, we don't need to update_rq_clock()
or check_preempt_curr().

But if the wakee task is on_rq && !on_cpu (e.g. an IRQ hit before
the task got to schedule() and the task been preempted), we should
check_preempt_curr() to see if it can preempt the current running.

This patch reorg ttwu_do_wakeup() and ttwu_do_activate() to make
ttwu_do_wakeup() only mark the task runnable, so it can be used
in ttwu_runnable() and try_to_wake_up() fast paths.

This also removes the class->task_woken() callback from ttwu_runnable(),
which wasn't required per the RT/DL implementations: any required push
operation would have been queued during class->set_next_task() when p
got preempted.

ttwu_runnable() also loses the update to rq->idle_stamp, as by definition
the rq cannot be idle in this scenario.

v3:
 - Improve the changelog per Valentin Schneider. Thanks!

v2:
 - keep check_preempt_curr() for on_rq && !on_cpu case in ttwu_runnable(),
   per Valentin Schneider.
 - reorg ttwu_do_wakeup() and ttwu_do_activate() code, so ttwu_do_wakeup()
   can be reused in ttwu_runnable(), per Peter Zijlstra.
 - reuse ttwu_do_wakeup() in try_to_wake_up() (p == current) fast path too,
   so ttwu_do_wakeup() become the only place we mark task runnable.
