And with this change task_migrating() is not possible under
task_rq_lock() or __task_rq_lock(). This means that 1/5 can be simplified
too.

__migrate_swap_task() is probably the notable exception...

Off-topic, but it takes 2 ->pi_lock's. This means it can deadlock with
try_to_wake_up_local() (if a 3rd process does ttwu() and waits for
->on_cpu == 0). But I guess __migrate_swap_task() should not play with
PF_WQ_WORKER threads.
