sched: prevent wakeup over-scheduling
Prevent wakeup over-scheduling. Once a task has been preempted by a
task of the same or lower priority, it becomes ineligible for repeated
preemption by same until it has been ticked, or slept. Instead, the
task is marked for preemption at the next tick. Tasks of higher
priority still preempt immediately.

sched: fix __pick_next_entity()
The thing is that __pick_next_entity() must never be called when
first_fair(cfs_rq) == NULL. It wouldn't be a problem, should 'run_node'
be the very first field of 'struct sched_entity' (and it's the second).
The 'nr_running != 0' check is _not_ enough, due to the fact that
'current' is not within the tree. Generic paths are ok (e.g. schedule()
as put_prev_task() is called previously)... I'm more worried about e.g.
migration_call() -> CPU_DEAD_FROZEN -> migrate_dead_tasks()... if
'current' == rq->idle, no problems.. if it's one of the SCHED_NORMAL
tasks (or imagine, some other use-cases in the future -- i.e. we should
not make outer world dependent on internal details of sched_fair class)
-- it may be "Houston, we've got a problem" case.
it's +16 bytes to the ".text". Another variant is to make 'run_node' the
first data member of 'struct sched_entity' but an additional check (se !
= NULL) is still needed in pick_next_entity().
There is a possibility that because of task of a group moving from one
cpu to another, it may gain more cpu time that desired. See
http://marc.info/?l=linux-kernel&m=119073197730334 for details.
This is an attempt to fix that problem. Basically it simulates dequeue
of higher level entities as if they are going to sleep. Similarly it
simulate wakeup of higher level entities as if they are waking up from
sleep.
The adjusting sched_class is a missing part of the already existing "do
not leak PI boosting priority to the child" at the sched_fork(). This
patch moves the adjusting sched_class from wake_up_new_task() to
sched_fork().
this also shrinks the code a bit:
