How about to change this to 

			/*
			 * We had to unlock the run queue. In
			 * the mean time, task could have
			 * migrated already or had its affinity changed.
			 * Also make sure that it wasn't scheduled on its rq.
			 * It is possible the task was scheduled, set
             * "migrate_disabled" and then got preempted, And we
             * check task migration disable flag here too.
