Trace a run of 2 SCHED_OTHER (nice 0) tasks and 1 SCHED_IDLE task on a
single CPU and trace_printk the conditions  'if (delta < 0)' and ' if
(delta > ideal_runtime)' in check_preempt_tick().

Then do the same with 3 SCHED_OTHER (nice 0) tasks. You can also change
the niceness of the 2 SCHED_OTHER task to 19 to see some differences in
the kernelshark's task layout.

rt-app (https://github.com/scheduler-tools/rt-app) is a nice tool to
craft those artificial use cases.
