sched: remove redundant hierarchy walk in check_preempt_wakeup

[Paul Turner]

Hi Ingo, Peter,

In check_preempt_wakeup we walk up until both entities are queued on the
same cfs_rq.  After the iteration of vruntime vs wall-clock pre-emption 
changes the current check now checks at every level of the tree above 
this.  However, unless I'm missing something at this point they should
have a common parent.

Thanks,

- Paul

sched: remove redundant hierarchy walk in check_preempt_wakeup

Under group scheduling we traverse up until we are at common siblings to make
the wakeup comparison on.

At this point however, they should have the same parent so continuing to check
up the tree is redundant.
