Subject: [PATCH] sched/fair: optimize entity_tick()

From: "zhangpeng.00" <[email protected]>

entity_tick() will be called to check preemption by calculating each
sched_entity's time_slice in a task group tree from bottom to top.

If a need_resched_flag is set by a checking of a sched_entity,
there is no necessary to check preemption of the sched_entity's
parent and ancestor entity.

So we can test if the need_resched_flag has been set before calling
check_preempt_tick() to avoid unnecessary calculations.

Optimization patches should come with numbers showing they're worth it.

Also; did you consider side-effects from check_preempt_tick(), like
clearing buddy state etc.. ?
