sched/core: Remove get_cpu() from sched_fork()
get_cpu() disables preemption for the entire sched_fork() function.
This get_cpu() was introduced in commit:
dd41f596cda0 ("sched: cfs core code")
... which also invoked sched_balance_self() and this function
required preemption do be off.
Today, sched_balance_self() seems to be moved to ->task_fork callback
which is invoked while the ->pi_lock is held.
set_load_weight() could invoke reweight_task() which then via $callchain
might end up in smp_processor_id() but since `update_load' is false
this won't happen.
I didn't find any this_cpu*() or similar usage during the initialisation
of the task_struct.
The `cpu' value (from get_cpu()) is only used later in __set_task_cpu()
while the ->pi_lock lock is held.
Based on this it is possible to remove get_cpu() and use
smp_processor_id() for the `cpu' variable without breaking anything.
