Ah, you're right. I was thinking of just forced preemption, but, I
wasn't thinking about voluntary preemption (preemption points). We want
this behavior for that too (for kernel).

And yes, if we preempt in user space, this isn't enough either.

Actually, I think we only care if the state of the task is
TASK_RUNNING, if it is anything else, the task is probably going to
sleep anyway and we don't care about FIFO order then.
