I feel there should be a little more in the changelog; how about
something like:

Avoid double_rq_lock() and use ONRQ_MIGRATING for __migrate_task(). The
advantage is (obviously) not holding two 'rq->lock's at the same time
and thereby increasing parallelism.

The important point to note is that because we acquire dst->lock
immediately after releasing src->lock the potential wait time of
task_rq_lock() callers on ONRQ_MIGRATING is not longer than it would
have been in the double rq lock scenario.
