Took care of that, and came up with the below. Tested with locktorture and it
survives. Thoughts?

Subject: [PATCH v2] Exclude balance callback queuing during proxy's migrate
In commit 565790d28b1e ("sched: Fix balance_callback()"), it is clear that rq
lock needs to be held when __balance_callbacks() in schedule() is called.
However, it is possible that because rq lock is dropped in proxy(), another
CPU, say in __sched_setscheduler() can queue balancing callbacks and cause
issues.
To remedy this, exclude balance callback queuing on other CPUs, during the
proxy().
