sched/fair: Revert force wakeup preemption

This agressively bypasses run_to_parity and slice protection with the
assumpiton that this is what waker wants but there is no garantee that
the wakee will be the next to run. It is a better choice to use
yield_to_task or WF_SYNC in such case.

This increases the number of resched and preemption because a task becomes
quickly "ineligible" when it runs; We update the task vruntime periodically
and before the task exhausted its slice or at least quantum.

Example:
2 tasks A and B wake up simultaneously with lag = 0. Both are
eligible. Task A runs 1st and wakes up task C. Scheduler updates task
A's vruntime which becomes greater than average runtime as all others
have a lag == 0 and didn't run yet. Now task A is ineligible because
it received more runtime than the other task but it has not yet
exhausted its slice nor a min quantum. We force preemption, disable
protection but Task B will run 1st not task C.

Sidenote, DELAY_ZERO increases this effect by clearing positive lag at
wake up.
