Here's scanning suspension, communicated via 

	root_drmcs.scanning_suspended = true;
	root_drmcs.suspended_period_us = root_drmcs.period_us;
	root_drmcs.period_us = 0;

but I don't see those used in scan_worker() and the scanning traversal
can apparently run concurrently with a task migration.

drmcs_get_active_time_us() could count a task's contribution here,
the task would migrate to a different drmcs,
and it'd be counted 2nd time.
