sched: Fix task priority bug

83f9ac removed a call to effective_prio() in wake_up_new_task(), which
leads to tasks running at MAX_PRIO.

This is caused by the idle thread being set to MAX_PRIO before forking
off init. O(1) used that to make sure idle was always preempted, CFS
uses check_preempt_curr_idle() for that so we can savely remove this bit
of legacy code.
