The busiest_rq is *busiest*, and a lot of tasks and context switches there. We are dropping the lock and waiting for it again. Let's just detach the task and once finally unlock it! Warning: this admits unlocked using of can_migrate_task(), throttled_lb_pair(), and task_hot(). I added comments about that.
