sched: Remove unlikely() from ttwu_post_activation
The unlikely() used in ttwu_post_activation() tests if the rq->idle_stamp
is set. But since this is for a wakeup, and wakeups happen when tasks
block on IO, and blocking tasks on IO may put the system into idle,
this can actually be a common occurence.
Running the annotated branch profiler on an average desktop running
firefox, evolution, xchat and distcc, the report shows:
correct incorrect % Function File Line
------- --------- - -------- ---- ----
34884862 146110926 80 ttwu_post_activation sched.c 2309
80% of the time, this unlikely is incorrect. Best not to assume what the
result is, and just remove the branch annotation.
