sched/cpupri: Remove pri_to_cpu[CPUPRI_IDLE]

pri_to_cpu[CPUPRI_IDLE=0] isn't used since cpupri_set(..., newpri) is
never called with newpri = MAX_PRIO (140).

Current mapping:

p->rt_priority   p->prio   newpri   cpupri

                               -1       -1 (CPUPRI_INVALID)

                              140        0 (CPUPRI_IDLE)

                              100        1 (CPUPRI_NORMAL)

             1        98       98        3
           ...
            49        50       50       51
            50        49       49       52
           ...
            99         0        0      101

Even when cpupri was introduced with commit 6e0534f27819 ("sched: use a
2-d bitmap for searching lowest-pri CPU") in v2.6.27, only

   (1) CPUPRI_INVALID (-1),
   (2) MAX_RT_PRIO (100),
   (3) an RT prio (RT1..RT99)

were used as newprio in cpupri_set(..., newpri) -> convert_prio(newpri).

MAX_RT_PRIO is used only in dec_rt_tasks() -> dec_rt_prio() ->
dec_rt_prio_smp() -> cpupri_set() in case of !rt_rq->rt_nr_running.
I.e. it stands for a non-rt task, including the IDLE task.

Commit 57785df5ac53 ("sched: Fix task priority bug") removed code in
v2.6.33 which did set the priority of the IDLE task to MAX_PRIO.
Although this happened after the introduction of cpupri, it didn't have
an effect on the values used for cpupri_set(..., newpri).

Remove CPUPRI_IDLE and adapt the cpupri implementation accordingly.
This will save a useless for loop with an atomic_read in
cpupri_find_fitness() calling __cpupri_find().

New mapping:

p->rt_priority   p->prio   newpri   cpupri

                               -1       -1 (CPUPRI_INVALID)

                              100        0 (CPUPRI_NORMAL)

             1        98       98        2
           ...
            49        50       50       50
            50        49       49       51
           ...
            99         0        0      100
