These two are fine. They set the need_resched flag of the process whose
counter they decrement, and if the timer interrupt arrives right before a
context switch they charge the process being descheduled. Why would you
change this? If you want to be more correct than we are now you can add
prev->need_resched = 0
in __schedule_tail() to make sure a process starts out with a clean
need_resched when it resumes execution, but that's minor.
