In the next patch, we remove the strict priority system and continuously
re-evaluate the relative priority of tasks. As such we need to enable
the timeslice whenever there is more than one context in the pipeline.
This simplifies the decision and removes some of the tweaks to suppress
timeslicing, allowing us to lift the timeslice enabling to a common spot
at the end of running the submission tasklet.
