Add a new flag, TIF_NEED_RESCHED_LAZY which with TIF_NEED_RESCHED
gives the scheduler two levels of rescheduling priority:
TIF_NEED_RESCHED means that rescheduling happens at the next
opportunity; TIF_NEED_RESCHED_LAZY is used to note that a
reschedule is needed but does not impose any other constraints
on the scheduler.
