sched: clear buddies more aggressively
It was noticed that a task could get re-elected past its run quota due to buddy
affinities. This could increase latency a little. Cure it by more aggresively
clearing buddy state.
We do so in two situations:
- when we force preempt
- when we select a buddy to run
