sched/core: Optimize __schedule()
Oleg noted that by making do_exit() use __schedule() for the TASK_DEAD context switch, we can avoid the TASK_DEAD special case currently in __schedule() because that avoids the extra preempt_disable() from schedule(). In order to facilitate this, create a do_task_dead() helper which we place in the scheduler code, such that it can access __schedule(). Also add some __noreturn annotations to the functions, there's no coming back from do_exit().
