Subject: [PATCH 0/3] sched: Fix wakeup preemption regression

A recent commit caused an interactivity/starvation issue because we wrecked rq
local wakeup preemption.

These patches rectify this while also (hopefully) keeping the problem that led
to the fault patch fixed.

Mike, Pavan, could you guys please confirm?
