Subject: [patch] BFS 420: no update of task cpu when changing cpu affinity

Since task cpu is involved in the computation of difference of locality, we
have to delay updating it until the task will be taken off the global runqueue.

If given task is a sleeper, no problem since it has to be activated first.
