[PATCH] sched: recover sched_yield task running time increase

[Alex Shi]

commit ac53db596cc08ecb8040c removed the sched_yield task running
time increase, so the yielded task get more opportunity to be launch
again. That may not the caller want to be. And this also causes
volano benchmark drop 50~80 percent performance on core2/NHM/WSM
machines. This patch recover the sched_yield task vruntime up.
