Subject: [PATCH] Prevent endless reschedule of sys-task due to high prio
 dirty-job

Higher prio dirty-job in combination with lower prio sys-task could
cause an endless rescheduling of the sys-task without making any
progress. This since we refuse to execute on a dirty scheduler if
we got sys-tasks as well as refuse to execute lower prio sys-tasks
if we got other higher prio work to do.

Solved by executing lower prio sys-task even though we got higher
prio dirty-jobs. This since it is non-trivial to reschedule already
scheduled sys-tasks for handling while executing dirty and we do
not now how long time it takes until we return from dirty work.
