[PATCH] sched/fair: micro-optimize pick_next_entity()
From: Li RongQing
Date: Wed Aug 11 2021 - 07:49:56 EST
only check the skip buddy when next buddy and last buddy
are not picked up, this can save the cycles of checking
the skip buddy and compute the second buddy when next and
last buddy will be picked up
