Hi Vincent,

I am not sure if i have understood this below change correctly.

wakeup_latency_gran - this function returns difference in latency nice offsets.
Hence the more negative the value, it means se has more latency requirement
compared to current. Hence se should preempt the current here right?

we are comparing delta to get_latency_max and ideal_runtime, both of which can
be higher positive value, hence we will not preempt. that is not what we want
right?
