sched: optimize cond_resched()
Optimize cond_resched() by removing one conditional.
Currently cond_resched() checks system_state ==
SYSTEM_RUNNING in order to avoid scheduling before the
scheduler is running.
We can however, as per suggestion of Matt, use
PREEMPT_ACTIVE to accomplish that very same.
