+running_again:
+ if (prev == idle_task(smp_processor_id()))
+ goto out_unlock;

Why don't you move the test for the idle task to the beginning of the
function so we don't need to take the run queue lock if prev is idle? There
is nothing to be done for idle tasks, we don't even need to set ->has_cpu.
