Subject: sched/fair: Simplify wake_affine() for the single socket case
From: Rik van Riel <riel@xxxxxxxxxx>
commit 7d894e6e34a5cdd12309c7e4a3f830277ad4b7bf upstream.
Then 'this_cpu' and 'prev_cpu' are in the same socket, select_idle_sibling()
will do its thing regardless of the return value of wake_affine().
Just return true and don't look at all the other things.
