Just switched pinned task is not able to be pushed. If the rq had had
several dl tasks before they have already been considered as candidates
to be pushed (or pulled). This patch does the same behavior as rt class
which introduced by commit 104479 (sched/rt: Do not try to push tasks
if pinned task switches to RT).
Checkpatch rightly complains:

ERROR: Please use 12 or more chars for the git commit ID like: 'commit 10447917551e ("sched/rt: Do not try to push tasks if pinned task switches to RT")'
#12:
which introduced by commit 104479 (sched/rt: Do not try to push tasks
I also got this warning before send out the patch, however, I check 6 chars
is enough for this commit. Anyway, I will send a newer version later.
It is currently, it might not be in the future. I've already had hash
collisions with 8 char hashes. And the fact thats it in the changelog
means it can (and therefore) will be referenced at some point in the
future. If by that point there is a collision...

Got it, thanks for your pointing out.
