[PATCH 4/8] sched/core: Skip wakeup when task is already running.

[Dongsheng Yang]

From: Dongsheng <yangds.fnst@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

It is pointless to wake up a running task. Currently, we can
see it in perf sched latency.

	# perf sched record sleep 10
	[ perf record: Woken up 2 times to write data ]
	[ perf record: Captured and wrote 21.170 MB perf.data (~924950 samples) ]
	# perf sched latency |tail
