I haven't applied the patch to make balance_fair() test
sched_fair_runnable() instead of rq->nr_running yet but after that I think
all review points that you raised should be addressed except for the above
pick_task() conversion. If you want to go ahead with this change, please do
so. I'll pull in tip/sched/core and update accordingly. AFAICS, it doesn't
make any significant difference to SCX one way or the other and I think
updating shouldn't be too painful.

Thanks.
