In fair.c:select_task_rq_fair(), when feec() returns a error (< 0),
the new_cpu = find_idlest_cpu() or select_idle_sibling().
In your patch, you should return prev_cpu instead of -1 if you want to
select the prev_cpu.
Having a negative delta doesn't imply that prev_cpu is still available.
E.g.: If prev_cpu cannot receive the task (and is skipped), and a
negative delta appears when evaluating the other CPUs. In such case
feec() cannot select prev_cpu. dst_cpu must be selected by another function.

Maybe it would be better if you submitted the V2 ? I just check the
patch and raised some questions.
I m ok to send a V2. I will submit it once we agreed.
