Oops! Minor thinko! Here is a respin. Please apply this one instead.
I better make a 0.42 heh.

The prio_level was being inappropriately decreased if a higher priority
task was still using previous timeslice. Fix that.
Task expiration of higher priority tasks was not being taken into account
with allocating priority slots. Check the expired best_static_prio level
to facilitate that.
Explicitly check all better static priority prio_levels when deciding on
allocating slots for niced tasks.
These changes improve behaviour in many ways.
