[PATCH RT] sched/migrate_disable: fallback to preempt_disable() instead barrier()

From: Sebastian Andrzej Siewior

migrate_disable() does nothing !SMP && !RT. This is bad for two reasons:
- The futex code relies on the fact migrate_disable() is part of spin_lock().
There is a workaround for the !in_atomic() case in migrate_disable() which
work-arounds the different ordering (non-atomic lock and atomic unlock).

- we have a few instances where preempt_disable() is replaced with
migrate_disable().

For both cases it is bad if migrate_disable() ends up as barrier() instead of
preempt_disable(). Let migrate_disable() fallback to preempt_disable().
