sched: Push down pre_schedule() and idle_balance()
This patch both merged idle_balance() and pre_schedule() and pushes
both of them into pick_next_task().
Conceptually pre_schedule() and idle_balance() are rather similar,
both are used to pull more work onto the current CPU.
We cannot however first move idle_balance() into pre_schedule_fair()
since there is no guarantee the last runnable task is a fair task, and
thus we would miss newidle balances.
Similarly, the dl and rt pre_schedule calls must be ran before
idle_balance() since their respective tasks have higher priority and
it would not do to delay their execution searching for less important
tasks first.
However, by noticing that pick_next_tasks() already traverses the
sched_class hierarchy in the right order, we can get the right
behaviour and do away with both calls.
We must however change the special case optimization to also require
that prev is of sched_class_fair, otherwise we can miss doing a dl or
rt pull where we needed one.
