task_hot checks exec_start on any runnable task, but if it has been migrated since the it last ran, then exec_start is a clock_task from another cpu. If the old cpu's clock_task was sufficiently far ahead of this cpu's then the task will not be considered for another migration until it has run. Instead reset exec_start whenever a task is migrated, since it is presumably no longer hot anyway.
