migrate_disable() race with cpu hotplug?

When reading the code, I'm afraid there is a race between migrate_disable()
and cpu hotplug. A scenario will like below:

CPU0 CPU1
_cpu_down();
cpu_unplug_begin();
wait_for_completion()
sync_unplug_thread();
complete();
race_window? /*
* migrate_disable() will
* not take effect since
* hotplug is in progress
*/

__stop_machine();

I think it could happen but maybe I'm missing something.

Thanks,
Yong
