Do we need to hold blocked_lock while checking allowed CPUs? Would 
moving raw_spin_lock(&p->blocked_lock); inside if (!is_cpu_allowed()) 
block be silly? i.e.,:

		if (!is_cpu_allowed(p, cpu_of(rq))) {
			raw_spin_lock(&p->blocked_lock);
			if (task_current_selected(rq, p)) {
				put_prev_task(rq, p);
				rq_set_selected(rq, rq->idle);
			}
			deactivate_task(rq, p, DEQUEUE_SLEEP | DEQUEUE_NOCLOCK);
			resched_curr(rq);
			raw_spin_unlock(&p->blocked_lock);
			return true;
		}
		resched_curr(rq);

Nit: what about this?

proxy_migrate_task() always returns NULL. Is return type really needed?

Having a "if (!IS_ENABLED(CONFIG_SMP))" check here would help in 
dropping #else part. i.e.,
