Subject: [PATCH] make dequeue_task less confusing

The dequeue_patch function in kernel/sched.c is complicated by including
a sleep parameter.  This parameter is always zero except in one
instance.  This patch clarifies the task of dequeue_patch by removing
the sleep parameter and moving the code that handles non-zero sleep to
that one place where it is needed.
