pick_direct_dispatch_cid() sent a pinned task straight to its only cpu without an idle check. An insert onto a time-shared cid is forced IMMED, which may not wait on a busy cpu - the kernel bounces the task back to ops.enqueue(), the shortcut re-inserts it, and the loop runs into the reenqueue repeat limit. Run pinned tasks through the same idle test as everyone else and queue them when the cpu is busy. always_enq_immed forces IMMED on every local insert and already skipped the shortcut for the same reason.
