This patch adds a new critical-section primitive pair:
"migration_disable()" and "migration_enable()"
This allows you to force a task to remain on the current cpu, while
still remaining fully preemptible. This is a better alternative to
modifying current->cpus_allowed because you dont have to worry about
colliding with another entity also modifying the cpumask_t while in
the critical section.
In fact, modifying the cpumask_t while in the critical section is
fully supported, but note that the behavior of set_cpus_allowed()
has slightly different behavior. In the old code, the mask update
was synchronous: e.g. the task would be on a legal cpu when the call
returned. The new behavior makes this asynchronous if the task is
currently in a migration-disabled critical section. The task will
migrate to a legal cpu once the critical section ends.
This concept will be used later in the series.
