[PATCH] sched: Get rid of unnecessary checks from select_idle_sibling

From: Namhyung Kim
Date: Wed Jan 09 2013 - 01:51:01 EST


From: Namhyung Kim <namhyung.kim@xxxxxxx>

AFAICS @target cpu of select_idle_sibling() is always either prev_cpu
or this_cpu. So no need to check it again and the conditionals can be
consolidated.
