    improve affine wakeups. Maintain the 'overlap' metric based on CFS's
    sum_exec_runtime - which means the amount of time a task executes
    after it wakes up some other task.
    
    Use the 'overlap' for the wakeup decisions: if the 'overlap' is short,
    it means there's strong workload coupling between this task and the
    woken up task. If the 'overlap' is large then the workload is decoupled
    and the scheduler will move them to separate CPUs more easily.
    
    ( Also slightly move the preempt_check within try_to_wake_up() - this has
      no effect on functionality but allows 'early wakeups' (for still-on-rq
      tasks) to be correctly accounted as well.)
