Subject: [PATCH] context: keep the driver passive when we can

Only make the driver node active when we assign it an always_process
node. Otherwise we can keep the driver passive until some other active
nodes are added.

Fixes a case where an need_driver node would automatically activate
the driver, even when nothing is to be scheduled.
