So we want to move some !migrate_disable(), highest priority task to make
room for a migrate_disable(), lower priority task. We're working with the
task that was highest prio at the time of kicking the CPU stopper
(i.e. back when we invoked get_push_task()), but as you point out here it
might no longer be of highest prio.
I was thinking that since this is done in stopper context we could peek at
what actually is the current (!stopper) highest prio task, but that implies
first grabbing the rq lock and *then* some p->pi_lock, which is a no-no :(
Regarding the check, I've cobbled the below. I'm not fond of the implicit
expectation that p will always be > CFS, but there's no CFS .find_lock_rq()
(... for now).
