MINOR: task: give the scheduler a bit more flexibility in the runqueue size

Instead of setting a hard-limit on runqueue-depth and keeping it short
to maintain fairness, let's allow the scheduler to automatically cut
the existing one in two equal halves if its size is between the configured
size and its double. This will allow to increase the default value while
keeping a low latency.
