[PATCH v2] sched: Drop outdated compile-optimization

[Brian Norris]

Looks like this exists from way back in 2011 (commit 095c0aa83e52
("sched: adjust scheduler cpu power for stolen time")), when there was a
little more aggressive use of #if around these variables. The comment
mostly serves to confuse the reader, although it may arguably apply to
the (excessive) #ifdef CONFIG_HAVE_SCHED_AVG_IRQ.

Anyway, the #ifdef is not needed, so drop both the comment and the
"optimization." Any modern compiler will realize this block is not
needed (for one, update_irq_load_avg() is an empty function when
!CONFIG_HAVE_SCHED_AVG_IRQ).

Confirmed on:

  x86 gcc 11.2.0 (Debian)
  x86 clang 13.0.1 (Debian)
  aarch64-linux-gnu-gcc 11.2.0 (Debian)
