In preparation for migrate_disable(), make sure only per-cpu kthreads are allowed to run on !active CPUs. This is ran (as one of the very first steps) from the cpu-hotplug task which is a per-cpu kthread and completion of the hotplug operation only requires such tasks. This constraint enables the migrate_disable() implementation to wait for completion of all migrate_disable regions on this CPU at hotplug time without fear of any new ones starting. This replaces the unlikely(rq->balance_callbacks) test at the tail of context_switch with an unlikely(rq->balance_work), the fast path is not affected.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
