The overall change makes sense to me. I'm wondering if we should set
DEQUEUE_MIGRATING here when task_on_rq_migrating(p) == true (apparently the
sched core doesn't set this flag).

In this way we can use ENQUEUE_MIGRATING and DEQUEUE_MIGRATING to
distinguish between a migration ops.runnable/quiescent() call vs a
"regular" one.

Thanks,
