I did it on purpose.

If migration cost is huge, the task should not migrate, no matter the
cookie is matched or not. So have to after sysctl_sched_migration_cost == -1.

And if migration cost = 0 or delta < migrate cost , the task can be migrated,
but before migrate, We need to check whether cookie is matched or not. So before
sysctl_sched_migration_cost == 0.

Please correct me if I was wrong.
