[RFC,1/2] Prevent CFS from ignoring boost requests from KVM

Commit Message

Kenta Ishiguro April 21, 2021, 3:08 p.m. UTC

This commit increases the vruntime of yielded vCPU to boost a vCPU instead
of the yielded vCPU when two vCPUs are in the same VM. This change avoids
the situation where scheduling the boosted vCPU is too unfair.
