If we fix the above, we don't need busiest_best_prio_seen. Once we move one
highest priority task, we are changing this_best_prio anyhow right?
This patch doesn't address the issue where we can skip the highest priority
task movement if there is only one such task on the busy runqueue
(and is on the expired list..)
I can send a fix if I understand your intention for the above hunk.
