[PATCH] Hotplug CPUs: Take cpu Lock Around Migration
Grab cpu lock around sched_migrate_task() and sys_sched_setaffinity(). This is a noop without CONFIG_HOTPLUG_CPU. The sched_migrate_task may have a performance penalty on NUMA if lots of exec rebalancing is happening, however this only applies to CONFIG_NUMA and CONFIG_HOTPLUG_CPU, which noone does at the moment anyway. Also, the scheduler in -mm solves the race another way, so this will vanish then.
