K Prateek Nayak fa6874dfee sched/fair: Remove superfluous rcu_read_lock() in the wakeup path
select_task_rq_fair() is always called with p->pi_lock held and IRQs
disabled which makes it equivalent of an RCU read-side.

Since commit 71fedc41c2 ("sched/fair: Switch to
rcu_dereference_all()") switched to using rcu_dereference_all() in the
wakeup path, drop the explicit rcu_read_{lock,unlock}() in the fair
task's wakeup path.

Future plans to reuse select_task_rq_fair() /
find_energy_efficient_cpu() in the fair class' balance callback will do
so with IRQs disabled and will comply with the requirements of
rcu_dereference_all() which makes this safe keeping in mind future
development plans too.
