Test :

Run on ARM64 4NODE, 128 CORE

// cat a.c
#include <time.h>

int main(void)
{
     struct timespec time, save;
     int ret;

     time.tv_sec = 0;
     time.tv_nsec = 1;

     while (1) {
         ret = nanosleep(&time, &save);
         if (ret)
             nanosleep(&save, &save);
     }
     return 0;
}

#cat a.sh
for i in `seq 0 9`
do
     taskset -c 8-11 ./a.out &
done


then run:

     gcc a.c -o a.out
     sh a.sh



without this patch, you can see all the task run on CPU11 all the times.
