Which is what I'm worrying about. I think we can ignore migrate_disable()
for now and just consider a task fork()'ing while another tries to
sched_setaffinity() it; say the fork() happens just after the pending has
been installed.

Unless I'm overthinking it, we could end up with a dangling pending
reference, which will wreck havock to any later affine_move_task() (see the
if (p->migration_pending) paths).
