Sounds good to me. If we are copying times in the retry loop then
let's move the `reschedule =` decision out of that loop completely. At
the end of get_recent_times we can do:

if (cpu == current_cpu)
    reschedule = tasks[NR_RUNNING] +
                            tasks[NR_IOWAIT] +
                            tasks[NR_MEMSTALL] > 1;
else
    reschedule = *pchanged_states & (1 << PSI_NONIDLE);

Good point. (tasks[NR_RUNNING] + tasks[NR_IOWAIT] + tasks[NR_MEMSTALL]
> 1) condition should also contain this check.
