When a hyperthread is forced idle and the other hyperthread has a single
CPU intensive task running, the running task can occupy the hyperthread
for a long time with no scheduling point and starve the other
hyperthread.
Fix this temporarily by always checking if the task has exceed its
timeslice and if so, do a schedule.
