sched: Remove branch hints within context_switch()
With 710390d9 "sched: Optimize branch hint in context_switch()"
the branch hint logic within context_switch() got inversed.
In fact the hints "if (likely(!mm))" and "if (likely(!prev->mm))"
mean that it is likely that the previous and next task are kernel
threads.
That assumption is certainly counter intuitive, but Tim has shown
that at least with his workload this is true. Nevertheless the
truth is: it depends on the current workload. So just remove the
annotations which also improves readability.
