I believe it is probably a bug in the scheduler core code. 
__set_cpus_allowed_ptr_locked() calls affine_move_task() to move to a 
random cpu within the new set allowable CPUs. However, if migration is 
disabled, it shouldn't call affine_move_task() at all. Instead, I would 
suggest that if the current cpu is within the new allowable cpus, it 
should just skip doing affine_move_task(). Otherwise, it should fail 
__set_cpus_allowed_ptr_locked().

My 2 cents.

Cheers,
Longman
