and dropped because there is a problem with this:
- Now 
  if you read_lock() and then read_try_lock() then migrate_disable() is
  called by each caller. Also on read_unlock() migrate_enable() is called
  by each caller.

- with patch
  read_lock() calls migrate_disable() and read_try_lock() does not. Both
  get the lock. So on read_unlock(), the read_try_lock() owner remains
  unbalanced.

disabling migration prior incrementing read_depth should fix this.
