Yes, this should work.
Yi Wang does this extra check a little differently.

However the last time I had posted you didn't like that approach.

Further, I would think the number of times, we would be calling
sched_setaffinity would be far less than task_numa_migrate().
In the regular case, where we never have isolcpus, we add this extra check.

Also what does it mean for a task to have its cpu affinity set to a mix of
isolcpus and non isolcpus.

Also should we be updating update_numa_stats accordingly? While the problem
may not be apparent there but we are counting the load and compute capacity
of isolcpus.
