Or better, just remove dept. of redundancy dept. cruft. We clear
buddies upon selection. It's also pointless worrying whether to set
TIF_RESCHED or not, no cycle savings to be had there methinks.
While performing cruftectomy, also did cosmetic int ==> bool.
sched: Add yield_to(task, preempt) functionality.
Currently only implemented for fair class tasks.
Add a yield_to_task method() to the fair scheduling class. allowing the
caller of yield_to() to accelerate another thread in it's thread group,
task group, and sched class toward either it's cpu, or potentially the
caller's own cpu if the 'preempt' argument is also passed.
Implemented via a scheduler hint, using cfs_rq->next to encourage the
target being selected.
