1. I think it may be because when change the priority of stress-ng, the 
stress-ng task had been sched_out and did not run.

2.
sched_switch: A         ->  B(prio1)
sched_switch: B(prio_2) ->  C

The specific details are that:
first process the first sched_switch event, read the priority of task B, 
as prio1.
then process the second sched_switch event, read the priority of task B, 
as prio2.

Only when change the priority of task B, it is in the running state, 
will show prio1->prio2

Thanks,
Yang.
