cmwq is not gonna do that and if someone is gonna do that there of
course needs to be some sort of limiting.

I still feel a bit uneasy about calling out external callbacks before
scheduler internal state update is complete.  If you still think
moving it right below activate_task() would be better, I'll move it
and modify the comment above try_to_wake_up_local().  Please let me
know what you think.

Thanks.
