sched: remove activate_idle_task()

cpu_down() code is ok wrt sched_idle_next() placing the 'idle' task not
at the beginning of the queue.

So get rid of activate_idle_task() and make use of activate_task() instead.
It is the same as activate_task(), except for the update_rq_clock(rq) call
that is redundant.

Code size goes down:

  47853    3934     336   52123    cb9b sched.o.before
  47828    3934     336   52098    cb82 sched.o.after
