    sched_ule(4): Fix hang with steal_thresh < 2.
    
    e745d729be60 caused infinite loop with interrupts disabled in load
    stealing code if steal_thresh set below 2.  Such configuration should
    not generally be used, but appeared some people are using it to
    workaround some problems.
    
    To fix the problem explicitly pass to sched_highest() minimum number
    of transferrable threads, supported by the caller, instead of guessing.
    
    MFC after:      25 days
