Where I'll just "bypass" task selection instead of returning RETRY_TASK. Since 3.13 scheduler does not have the RETRY_TASK logic, it will be just a question of not choosing the stop worker (kthread) to run in the same conditions (since the rest is pretty much the same).

Asking for kernel team review while I work on this.
