That doesn't solve the problem. On wakeup we should already prefer an idle CPU over one running a (RT) task, but you can always wake more tasks than there's CPUs around and you'll _have_ to stack at some point. The trick is how to unstack them correctly. We need to detect when a migrate_disable() task _should_ start running again, and migrate away whoever is in the way at that point. It turns out, that getting selected for pull-balance is exactly that condition, and clearly a migrate_disable() task cannot be pulled, but we can use that signal to try and pull away the running task that's in the way.
