Subject: [PATCH 2/2][v2] sched: Extract the task putting code from pick_next_task()

Introduce a new function finish_prev_task() to do the balance
when necessary, and then put previous task back to the run queue.
This function is extracted from pick_next_task() to prepare for
future usage by other type of task picking logic.

No functional change.
