sched/core: Fix task and run queue sched_info::run_delay inconsistencies

Mike Meyer reported the following bug:

> During evaluation of some performance data, it was discovered thread
> and run queue run_delay accounting data was inconsistent with the other
> accounting data that was collected.  Further investigation found under
> certain circumstances execution time was leaking into the task and
> run queue accounting of run_delay.

This alternative patch solves the problem by not calling
sched_info_{de,}queued() in {de,en}queue_task(). Therefore the
sched_info state is preserved and things work as expected.

By inlining the {de,en}queue_task() functions the new condition
becomes (mostly) a compile-time constant and we'll not emit any new
branch instructions.

It even shrinks the code (due to inlining {en,de}queue_task()):
