sched: Unify SMT active check via sched_smt_active()

There is a use of sched_smt_active() and explicit use of sched_smt_present.
Remove the explicit usage for better code maintenance and readability.

Note that this differs slightly for update_idle_core. It used to call
static_branch_unlikely earlier and now it will call static_branch_likely.
