Considering it further, I wonder if needing it.
(Sorry if I missed something.)
Case 1. tickless -> (scheduler_tick) -> tickless
I am not sure for this case if the rq's load can be changed or not,
especially, if the rq's load can be changed *at this point*.
Please remind that the load[0] is set here.
Case 2. tickless -> (scheduler_tick) -> restart tick
Will be done by the tick restart routine when exiting irq.
-> no problem.
Case 3. tick -> (scheduler_tick) -> tickless
Same as before.
-> no problem.
Case 4. tick -> (scheduler_tick) -> tick
We can rely on regular schedule_tick().
-> no problem.
