All in all, this should not hold up the current patch set. Maybe mark
it with a "TODO" and try to remember to look into it at another time.
The chances that we are switching from a SCHED_OTHER/RT to DEADLINE
that is already boosted is extremely rare. It can happen, but it's not
critical enough to hold this up.
