One thing you could try is to make criteria depend on avg_idle.  It will
slam to 2*migration_cost when a wakeup arrives after an ~extended idle.
You could perhaps extend it to cover new task wakeup as well, and use
that transition to invalidate history, switch to instantaneous until
fresh history can accumulate.
