Load should eventually get distributed equally -- that's what the
load-balancer is for -- so this is a temporary situation.
We already try and favour the non running vcpu in this case, that's what
yield_to_task_fair() is about. If its still not eligible to run, tough
luck.

To what purpose? Also, global stuff is expensive, so you should try and
stay away from it as hard as you possibly can.
