sched: Do less agressive buddy clearing 

Yanmin reported a hackbench regression due to:

 >     sched: Stop buddies from hogging the system

I really liked de69a80b, and it affecting hackbench shows I wasn't
crazy ;-)

So hackbench is a multi-cast, with one sender spraying multiple
receivers, who in their turn don't spray back.

This would be exactly the scenario that patch 'cures'. Previously
we would not clear the last buddy after running the next task,
allowing the sender to get back to work sooner than it otherwise
ought to have been, increasing latencies for other tasks.

Now, since those receivers don't poke back, they don't enforce the
buddy relation, which means there's nothing to re-elect the sender.

Cure this by less agressively clearing the buddy stats. Only clear
buddies when they were not chosen. It should still avoid a buddy
sticking around long after its served its time.
