sched: Make schedstats helpers independent of fair sched class



The original prototype of the schedstats helpers are

  update_stats_wait_*(struct cfs_rq *cfs_rq, struct sched_entity *se)

The cfs_rq in these helpers is used to get the rq_clock, and the se is
used to get the struct sched_statistics and the struct task_struct. In
order to make these helpers available by all sched classes, we can pass
the rq, sched_statistics and task_struct directly.

Then the new helpers are

  update_stats_wait_*(struct rq *rq, struct task_struct *p,
                      struct sched_statistics *stats)

which are independent of fair sched class.

To avoid vmlinux growing too large or introducing ovehead when
!schedstat_enabled(), some new helpers after schedstat_enabled() are also
introduced, Suggested by Mel. These helpers are in sched/stats.c,

  __update_stats_wait_*(struct rq *rq, struct task_struct *p,
                        struct sched_statistics *stats)

The size of vmlinux as follows,
                      Before          After
  Size of vmlinux     826308552       826304640
The size is a litte smaller as some functions are not inlined again after
the change.

I also compared the sched performance with 'perf bench sched pipe',
suggested by Mel. The result as followsi (in usecs/op),
                             Before                After
  kernel.sched_schedstats=0  5.2~5.4               5.2~5.4
  kernel.sched_schedstats=1  5.3~5.5               5.3~5.5

[These data is a little difference with the prev version, that is
because my old test machine is destroyed so I have to use a new
different test machine.]
Almost no difference.

No functional change.
