Right, but in this case we'd need to do the dec/inc load game again
because otherwise we'll skew stuff - see the previuos mail on how
dequeue_task() doesn't actually do that.

Also, it looks like current mainline still has this issue.

OTOH - since prio boosting is a temporal feature, not changing the load
isn't too bad, we ought to get back to where we came from pretty
quickly.
