Ho humm.. bit of a mess that. I'm trying to figure out if we need that
is_per_cpu_kthread() test here or not.

I suppose not, what we want here is to ensure the CPU is in cpus_mask
and not care about the whole hotplug mess.

Would it makes sense to replace both instances in migration_cpu_stop()
with:

	WARN_ON_ONCE(!cpumask_test_cpu(task_cpu(p), p->cpus_mask));

?
