Peter noted: Compilers are really bad (as in they utterly refuse)
optimizing (even when marked with __pure) the static branch
things, and will happily emit multiple identical in a row.

So pull out the one obvious sched_proxy_exec() branch in
__schedule() and remove some of the 'implicit' ones in that
path.
