Actually looking even further, we only introduced the extra lookup of the
next task when we started unlocking the runqueue in schedule(). Since we
can get by without locking this_rq in schedule with this approach we can
simplify dependent_sleeper even further by doing the dependent sleeper
check after we have discovered what next is in schedule and avoid looking
it up twice. I'll hack something up to do that soon.


Something like this (sorry I couldn't help but keep hacking on it).

Looking pretty good. Nice to acknowledge Chris's idea for
trylocks in your changelog when you submit a final patch.
