There is a race between set_cpus_allowed() and move_task_off_dead_cpu().
__migrate_task() doesn't report any err code, so task can be left on its
runqueue if its cpus_allowed mask changed so that dest_cpu is not longer a
possible target.  Also, chaning cpus_allowed mask requires rq->lock being
held.
