General comments:
- care to CC scheduler and mm people?
- couldn't this share some code with fs/proc?

Care to append an example output to the commit message?

It's too magic constant.

So add a lockdep assertion?

Why so weird name __better_proc_R?

Again, why "__" in the name?

Doesn't this look saner and better:

if (a->state == TASK_RUNNING && b->state == TASK_RUNNING)
  return __better_proc_R(a, b);
if (a->state == TASK_RUNNING)
  return a;
if (b->state == TASK_RUNNING)
  return b;

?

And one doesn't need to decrypt the defines.

This urgently calls for ifs and not ternany operators.

Actually you don't need this helper at all. Check a and b in the same if
as the respective !pid_alive above.

This smells like it should be done in a separate patch.
