sched: access local runqueue directly in single_task_running

Browse source 
Commit 2ee507c472 ("sched: Add function single_task_running to let a task
check if it is the only task running on a cpu") referenced the current
runqueue with the smp_processor_id.  When CONFIG_DEBUG_PREEMPT is enabled,
that is only allowed if preemption is disabled or the currrent task is
bound to the local cpu (e.g. kernel worker).

With commit f781951299 ("kvm: add halt_poll_ns module parameter") KVM
calls single_task_running. If CONFIG_DEBUG_PREEMPT is enabled that
generates a lot of kernel messages.

To avoid adding preemption in that cases, as it would limit the usefulness,
we change single_task_running to access directly the cpu local runqueue.
