Once pick_next_pushable_task(rq) returns a task, it guarantees that the task's cpu is rq->cpu, so task_cpu(next_task) is always rq->cpu if task == next_task. Remove the redundant condition and make code simpler.
pick_next_pushable_task(rq) has BUG_ON(rq_cpu != task_cpu(task)) when it returns a task other than NULL, which means that task_cpu(task) must be rq->cpu. So if task == next_task, then task_cpu(next_task) must be rq->cpu as well. By this patch, unnecessary one branch and two LOAD operations in 'if' statement can be avoided.
