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.
