Subject: [PATCH] sched: Stop buddies from hogging the system

Clear buddies more agressively.

The (theoretical, haven't actually observed any of this) problem is
that when we do not select either buddy in pick_next_entity()
because they are too far ahead of the left-most task, we do not
clear the buddies.

This means that as soon as we service the left-most task, these
same buddies will be tried again on the next schedule. Now if the
left-most task was a pure hog, it wouldn't have done any wakeups
and it wouldn't have set buddies of its own. That leads to the old
buddies dominating, which would lead to bad latencies.
