sched: Drop the need_resched() loop from cond_resched()
The schedule() function is a loop that reschedules the current
task while the TIF_NEED_RESCHED flag is set:
void schedule(void)
{
need_resched:
/* schedule code */
if (need_resched())
goto need_resched;
}
And cond_resched() repeat this loop:
do {
add_preempt_count(PREEMPT_ACTIVE);
schedule();
sub_preempt_count(PREEMPT_ACTIVE);
} while(need_resched());
This loop is needless because schedule() already did the check
and nothing can set TIF_NEED_RESCHED between schedule() exit
and the loop check in need_resched().
Then remove this needless loop.
