(earliest throttled cfs_rq is at the head)
Let the local completion time for a CPU be W. Then if we queue a remote work after the local synchronous work, the lower bound for total completion is at least 2W.
OTOH, if we first queue all remote work and then process the local synchronous work, the lower bound for total completion is W.
The practical difference is that all relevant CPUs get unthrottled rougly at the same point in time, unlike with the original case, where some CPUs have the opportunity to consume W runtime while another is still throttled.
