Subject[PATCH] [sched-int-changes 3/5] add_requeue_task
add_requeue_task

Please include in at least one -mm release.

We can requeue tasks for cheaper then doing a complete dequeue followed by
an enqueue. Add the requeue_task function and perform it where possible.

This will be hit frequently by upcoming changes to the requeueing in
timeslice granularity.
