Yeah, it's b0rked. The problem is that we call sched_slice() before the
new task's load weight has been added to the runqueue.

Normally this doesn't cause horrible problems, but when there is a +nice
hog on the runqueue, the lighter the hog, and/or heavier the victim...

[ 160.489402] bash:5858 vslice: 3840000000 weight: 1024 rq_weight: 15 inv_weight: 268435456

...the closer the victim's vruntime gets to the middle of next week.

Not-signed-off diag hack.
