This is very close to using is_short_task() as dynamic WF_SYNC hint, no?

And here you're basically saying that if the domain is 'busy' and the
task is short, don't spend time searching for a better location.
Should we perhaps only consider shortness; after all, spending more time
searching for an idle cpu than the task would've taken to run is daft.
Business of the domain seems unrelated to that.
Also, I'm not sure on your criteria for short; but I don't have enough
thoughts on that yet.
