I'm thinking you can shard this just fine, it makes that pop() needs to
iterate all shards, but that shouldn't be a problem, and it would still
only need to take a single lock.

I'm thinking 4 or 8 shards should be plenty, even for Intel LLC.

Would this not normally be called pop() or somesuch?

Elsewhere you mentioned heuristics, this smells like them. This and the
is_cpus_allowed() thing makes you loose plenty of opportunities.

At this point you can do the whole is_cpu_allowed() and avoid the whole
lock dance if not.

And then this becomes move_queued_task().
