Unfortunately I could not make trace.
First when migration threads start to eat CPUs and when I turn on trace:
# echo function > current_tracer
# echo 1 > tracing_on
then server is down at once. LA comes up to several thousands, it stops
to receive commands. Sometimes I even have to reboot it.

And second when I manage to get trace then it shows little useful data.

Probably this junk appears from grsec patch? And I don't see migration
threads in it.

Also "perf top" doesn't show anything. It gives same values when
migration threads eat CPUs and when everything is OK on server.

Now server is more loaded and eating CPUs by migration threads happens more 
often
and it lasts longer.
