For a workload that is having mostly runnable tasks (not doing lot of wakeup
/ sleep), maybe it makes sense.

Also if you have only cookied tasks and they are doing wake up / sleep, then
you have 2*nr_smt_picks anyway as the core picks constantly get invalidated,
AFAICS.

I guess in the current code, the assumptions are:
1. Most tasks are not cookied task
2. They can wake up and sleep a lot

I guess those are Ok assumptions though, but maybe we could document it.

thanks,
