    runtime: fix CPU underutilization · fcd7c02c

    Runqempty is a critical predicate for scheduler. If runqempty spuriously
    returns true, then scheduler can fail to schedule arbitrary number of
    runnable goroutines on idle Ps for arbitrary long time. With the addition
    of runnext runqempty predicate become broken (can spuriously return true).
    Consider that runnext is not nil and the main array is empty. Runqempty
    observes that the array is empty, then it is descheduled for some time.
    Then queue owner pushes another element to the queue evicting runnext
    into the array. Then queue owner pops runnext. Then runqempty resumes
    and observes runnext is nil and returns true. But there were no point
    in time when the queue was empty.
    
    Fix runqempty predicate to not return true spuriously.
