Subject: [PATCH RT] sched/migrate_disable: fallback to preempt_disable()
 instead barrier()

migrate_disable() does nothing !SMP && !RT. This is bad for two reasons:
- The futex code relies on the fact migrate_disable() is part of spin_lock().
  There is a workaround for the !in_atomic() case in migrate_disable() which
  work-arounds the different ordering (non-atomic lock and atomic unlock).

- we have a few instances where preempt_disable() is replaced with
  migrate_disable().

For both cases it is bad if migrate_disable() ends up as barrier() instead of
preempt_disable(). Let migrate_disable() fallback to preempt_disable().
