Subject: [PATCH] sched/fair: Make SCHED_IDLE se be preempted in strict hierarchy

Consider the following cgroup:
                       root
                        |
             ------------------------
             |                      |
       normal_cgroup            idle_cgroup
             |                      |
   SCHED_IDLE task_A           SCHED_NORMAL task_B

According to the cgroup hierarchy, A should preempt B. But current
check_preempt_wakeup_fair() treats cgroup se and task separately, so B
will preempt A unexpectedly.
Unify the wakeup logic by {p}se_is_idle only.

Also fix a bug about se_is_idle() definition when
!CONFIG_FAIR_GROUP_SCHED.

Fixes: 304000390f88 ("sched: Cgroup SCHED_IDLE support")
