Oh yes... __migrate_swap_task() can migrate fair class task so I should mark as TASK_ON_RQ_MIGRATING.
I will fix this in subsequent patch.

I conceived to argue that if we had Olav's change (with revised marking order) dummy like myself don't need to worry
about stale on_rq state and probably didn't make mistake like I did with __migrate_swap_task(). 
But I don't think I can argue for that reason anymore as my patch will set TASK_ON_RQ_MIGRATING for all migration paths for
the fair class tasks at least and moreover above macro you suggested would fortify the new requirement.

I will add that macro. 

I recall Olav had some other reason for his patch though.

Will do.
