The original patch just did set_cpus_allowed one more time late enough
so that the target kthread (in most cases) doesn't have to go through
fallback rq selection afterwards.  I don't know what the long term
solution is but CPU_ONLINE callbacks should be able to bind kthreads
to the new CPU one way or the other.
