sched/core: Optimize pick_next_task() for idle_sched_class
Steve noticed that when we switch from IDLE to SCHED_OTHER we fail to take the shortcut, even though all runnable tasks are of the fair class, because prev->sched_class != &fair_sched_class. Since I reworked the put_prev_task() stuff, we don't really care about prev->class here, so removing that condition will allow this case. This increases the likely case from 78% to 98% correct for Steve's workload.
