Right, so what Thomas says.. Now admittedly I haven't had my morning
juice yet, but staring at that function I can't see why that warning
would trigger at all.

I'm going to try and reproduce, but Thomas is already saying he can't,
so I'm not too confident.

I you can easily trigger this, could you add some trace_printk() to
migrate_disable/enable that prints both counters etc.. so we can see wtf
happens?
