It doesn't need to, but it can actually bring some benefit from
the point of view of text size, especially in warehouse-scale
computers where icache is extremely contended.

add/remove: 0/0 grow/shrink: 0/1 up/down: 0/-56 (-56)
Function                                     old     new   delta

Total: Before=64899, After=64843, chg -0.09%

I have no strong opinon about this 'cleanup', but the same pattern
can also be found in dequeue_task_fair() and I think it would be
better get them synchronized.
