sched: Add Lazy preemption model

Change fair to use resched_curr_lazy(), which, when the lazy
preemption model is selected, will set TIF_NEED_RESCHED_LAZY.

This LAZY bit will be promoted to the full NEED_RESCHED bit on tick.
As such, the average delay between setting LAZY and actually
rescheduling will be TICK_NSEC/2.

In short, Lazy preemption will delay preemption for fair class but
will function as Full preemption for all the other classes, most
notably the realtime (RR/FIFO/DEADLINE) classes.

The goal is to bridge the performance gap with Voluntary, such that we
might eventually remove that option entirely.
