Before migrate_tasks() is called, we do call set_rq_offline(), in
migration_call().

Shouldnt this take care of unthrottling the tasks and making sure that
they can be picked by pick_next_task().

If we are still seeing tasks not being picked by pick_next_task(), then
can it probably mean that rq->rd was NULL?
