What about doing this, together with letting the fqs logic poke
un-quiesced kernel code as needed?  That way, rather than having
cond_resched do any work, you have the fqs logic recognize that a
particular CPU has gone too long without quiescing, without disturbing
that CPU at all if it hasn't gone too long.
