SCHED: Is task migration necessary in sched_exec().

[Rakib Mullick]

 Is task migration necessary in sched_exec()?

 In sched_exec function's comment it says:

 "sched_exec - execve() is a valuable balancing opportunity, because at
  this point the task has the smallest effective memory and cache footprint."

Right, but - when a execve() is called then this task will start execution (that
means this task will not waiting on the runqueue as TASK_RUNNING/WAKING,
it will get the CPU). At this point - what is the necessity to try
making it balance.
By looking at point of "smallest effective memory and cache footprint" , we are
missing the point that we are unnecessarily pushing task when its
about to execute.

Isn't it? Or I'm missing anything?
