I'm pretty sure you only need to 'goto restart' if you call into
maybe_resched() as someone else may have manipulated the queues.

The 'restart' label is only in there for restarting in case one of
the functions called may change the lists, if we restart _every_
time we'll traverse the same procs where p->p_wchan != ident over
and over needlessly.
