revert 'sched: redundant reschedule when set_user_nice() boosts a prio of a task from the "expired" array'

Revert commit bd53f96ca54a21c07e7a0ae1886fa623d370b85f.

Con says:

This is no good, sorry. The one I saw originally was with the staircase
deadline cpu scheduler in situ and was different.

  #define TASK_PREEMPTS_CURR(p, rq) \
     ((p)->prio < (rq)->curr->prio)
     (((p)->prio < (rq)->curr->prio) && ((p)->array == (rq)->active))

This will fail to wake up a runqueue for a task that has been migrated to the
expired array of a runqueue which is otherwise idle which can happen with smp
balancing,
