already checked task_running(rq, p) || task_has_rt_policy(p) w/ rq lock
held.

OK, I removed the duplicate checks.

seems like you could condense to save an update_rq_clock() call at least,
don't know if the info_queued, info_dequeued need to be updated

Or I can do the whole operation with the task not queued.
Not sure yet what approach I'll take...

Should these details all be in sched_fair?  Seems like the wrong layer
here.  And would that condition go the other way?  If new vruntime is
smaller than min, then it becomes new cfs_rq->min_vruntime?

That would be nice.  Unfortunately, EXPORT_SYMBOL() does
not seem to work right from sched_fair.c, which is included
from sched.c instead of being built from the makefile!

Can delta go negative?

Good question.  I don't know.
