AFAICT this is migrate_enable(), which acts on current, so how can the
CPU that current runs on go away?

That is completely unexplained. You've not given a proper description of
the race scenario. And because you've not, we can't even begin to talk
about how best to address the issue.

Well, at this point you're leaving the whole affine_move_task()
machinery in an undefined state, which is a much bigger problem than the
weird return value.

Please read through that function and its comments a number of times. If
you're not a little nervous, you've not understood the thing.

Your patch has at least one very obvious resource leak.
