However, AbortJob is documented as synchronous. If current implementation doesn't
follow docs it is a bug. On the other hand, I don't recall anybody screaming about
it so far. But that means nothing, right?

Not really. The issue I've seen was like this:

   Thread A					Thread B
1. start async migration out job
2. 						Since job is set, abort it by calling 'migrate_cancel'
3.						return to user
4. issue 'migrate' on the monitor

And I think your suggestion makes it just harder to hit this race and not really avoid it.
However with my code, we are guaranteed that 'migrate_cancel' will have an effect.

But I agree that the check can be moved before the 'query_migrate' command so we don't have to
enter the monitor when we know we are canceling migration.
