In theory the patch deals with a corner case that the task sleeps for more than 1 minute,
but this is not the case for hackbench, and it did increase the preemption:

 1.08e+08 ±  2%    +648.7%  8.084e+08 ±  5%  hackbench.time.involuntary_context_switches 

It might be an issue described and fixed here:

I'll check if above patch helps.

thanks,
Chenyu
