* fixes spurious "meaningful conflict" error encountered by nodes attempting to update status, which could cause them to be considered unready ([#66169](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/66169), [@liggitt](https://github.com/liggitt))

- Sometimes, the scheduler incorrectly placed a pod in the "unschedulable" queue instead of the "backoff" queue. This happened when some plugin previously declared the pod as "unschedulable" and then in a later attempt encounters some other error. Scheduling of that pod then got delayed by up to five minutes, after which periodic flushing moved the pod back into the "active" queue.
