      sched: fix sleeper bonus limit · 5f01d519
      Mike Galbraith authored
      There is an Amarok song switch time increase (regression) under
      hefty load.
      
      What is happening is that sleeper_bonus is never consumed, and only
      rarely goes below runtime_limit, so for the most part, Amarok isn't
      getting any bonus at all.  We're keeping sleeper_bonus right at
      runtime_limit (sched_latency == sched_runtime_limit == 40ms) forever, ie
      we don't consume if we're lower that that, and don't add if we're above
      it.  One Amarok thread waking (or anybody else) will push us past the
      threshold, so the next thread waking gets nada, but will reap pain from
      the previous thread waking until we drop back to runtime_limit.  It
      looks to me like under load, some random task gets a bonus, and
      everybody else pays, whether deserving or not.
      
      This diff fixed the regression for me at any load rate.
