Curr can be preempted as it has run more than the ideal time (1st
test). This one is to make sure that the diff does not become too
large. Here we reuse the same comparison as wakeup to make sure that a
newly curr will get a chance to run its ideal time after  having
preempted at wakeup the previous current
