Yes I think there might be a problem here because of how we re-arranged
things. Let me brew of pot of tea and try to actually wake up.
I suspect we might be good if we clear the need_resched flags before
calling pick_next_task. Then any RT/DL task that gets moved here will
set need resched, and we'll retry the pick_next_task loop.
