We can avoid some unnecessary writes if we instead only consider the newest group to be the busiest if it has a higher load than the current busiest. This matches the behavior of other group types where we compare load, such as two groups that are both overloaded. Let's update the group_misfit_task type comparison to also only update the busiest group in the event of strict inequality.
