sched: Move update_curr() in check_preempt_wakeup() to avoid redundant call

Browse source 
If a RT task is woken up while a non-RT task is running,
check_preempt_wakeup() is called to check whether the new task can
preempt the old task. The function returns quickly without going deeper
because it is apparent that a RT task can always preempt a non-RT task.

In this situation, check_preempt_wakeup() always calls update_curr() to
update vruntime value of the currently running task. However, the
function call is unnecessary and redundant at that moment because (1) a
non-RT task can always be preempted by a RT task regardless of its
vruntime value, and (2) update_curr() will be called shortly when the
context switch between two occurs.

By moving update_curr() in check_preempt_wakeup(), we can avoid
redundant call to update_curr(), slightly reducing the time taken to
wake up RT tasks.

[ Place update_curr() right before the wake_preempt_entity() call, which
  is the only thing that relies on the updated vruntime ]
