[PATCH 4/6] sched: fair: Avoid checking cfs_rq->nr_running twice

From: Viresh Kumar
Date: Wed May 24 2017 - 01:30:45 EST


Rearrange pick_next_task_fair() a bit to avoid checking
cfs_rq->nr_running twice for the case where FAIR_GROUP_SCHED is enabled
and the previous task doesn't belong to the fair class.
