Hurm, so this is after hot-unplug succeeded. We get a timer (which is
also already migrated), but we enqueue the dl task on the offline CPU,
because we need to do replenish because start_dl_timer() -- see the
comment in dl_task_timer() at #ifdef CONFIG_SMP.

Then, once we've enqueued the task on the offline cpu, do we migrate it.

Bit icky that, but I don't immediately see a better way.

And I think you're right in that we don't leak the nohz state, the
migration, which we do immediately after this, takes care of that.

Juri, any opinions?
