unlikely() was dropped in commit ce03e4137bb2 ("sched/core: Drop unlikely behind BUG_ON()"), but commit 29d6455178a0 ("sched: panic on corrupted stack end") dropped BUG_ON() and called panic directly.
Now we should bring unlikely() back for branch prediction. While we're at it, it's better and cleaner to turn task_stack_end_corrupted() into inline function.
