So if you got the ifdef wrong (and kept everything as-is) then you
tested the RT version on !RT. migrate_disable() behaves on !RT as on RT.
As per changelog you don't use migrate_disable() unconditionally because
it increases the overhead on !RT.
I haven't looked at the series and I have just this tiny question: why
did migrate_disable() crash for Mel on !RT and why do you expect that it
does not happen on PREEMPT_RT?
