IIUC, we're trying to find/steal tasks matching the core_cookie from other
rqs because dst has been cookie-forced-idle.
If the p we find isn't running, what's the meaning of core_occupation?
I would have expected it to be 0, but we don't seem to be clearing it when
resetting the state in pick_next_task().
If it is running, we prevent the stealing if the core it's on is running
more matching tasks than the core of the pulling rq. It feels to me as if
that's a balancing tweak to try to cram as many matching tasks as possible
in a single core, so to me this reads as "don't steal my tasks if I'm
running more than you are, but I will steal tasks from you if I'm given
the chance". Is that correct?
