In order to avoid preempting ourselves, we currently refuse to schedule
the tasklet if we reschedule an inflight context. However, this glosses
over a few issues such as what happens after a CS completion event and
we then preempt the newly executing context with itself, or if something
else causes a tasklet_schedule triggering the same evaluation to
preempt the active context with itself.
However, when we avoid preempting ELSP[0], we still retain the preemption
value as it may match a second preemption request within the same time period
that we need to resolve after the next CS event. However, since we only
store the maximum preemption priority seen, it may not match the
subsequent event and so we should double check whether or not we
actually do need to trigger a preempt-to-idle by comparing the top
priorities from each queue. Later, this gives us a hook for finer
control over deciding whether the preempt-to-idle is justified.
The sequence of events where we end up preempting for no avail is:
1. Queue requests/contexts A, B
2. Priority boost A; no preemption as it is executing, but keep hint
3. After CS switch, B is less than hint, force preempt-to-idle
4. Resubmit B after idling
v2: We can simplify a bunch of tests based on the knowledge that PI will
ensure that earlier requests along the same context will have the highest
priority.
v3: Demonstrate the stale preemption hint with a selftest
