Yep, I messed up..

Does your kernel contain the below?

    sched: Re-add lost cpu_allowed check to sched_fair.c::select_task_rq_fair()
    
    While doing some testing, I pinned mplayer, only to find it
    following X around like a puppy. Looking at commit c88d591, I found
    a cpu_allowed check that went AWOL.  I plugged it back in where it
    looks like it needs to go, and now when I say "sit, stay!", mplayer
    obeys again.
    
    'c88d591 sched: Merge select_task_rq_fair() and
    sched_balance_self()' accidentally dropped the check, causing
    wake_affine() to pull pinned tasks - put it back.
