Ok here's a patch that does exactly that. Without an "inline" hint, gcc 4.1.0
chooses not to inline this function. I can't say I have a strong opinion
about whether it should be inlined or not (93 bytes larger inlined), so I've
decided not to given the current trend.
Sigh, sacrifice for the common case! :P

I prefer:
prio_array_t *target = rq->active;
if (batch_task(p))
target = rq->expired;
enqueue_task(p, target);
Because gcc can use things like predicated instructions for it.
But perhaps it is smart enough these days to recognise this?
At least in the past I have seen it start using cmov after doing
such a conversion.
At any rate, I think it looks nicer as well. IMO, of course.
