sched: Stop buddies from hogging the system
Clear buddies more agressively. The (theoretical, haven't actually observed any of this) problem is that when we do not select either buddy in pick_next_entity() because they are too far ahead of the left-most task, we do not clear the buddies. This means that as soon as we service the left-most task, these same buddies will be tried again on the next schedule. Now if the left-most task was a pure hog, it wouldn't have done any wakeups and it wouldn't have set buddies of its own. That leads to the old buddies dominating, which would lead to bad latencies.
