IMHO I think we should keep the state of p->on_rq updated with the correct state
all the time unless I am incorrect in what p->on_rq represent. The task
is moving between rq's and is on the rq so the state should be
TASK_ON_RQ_MIGRATING right? I do realize that the code is currently not
broken. However, in the future someone might come along and change
set_task_cpu() and the code change might rely on an accurate p->on_rq value. It
would be good design to keep this value correct.

Thanks,
