So let me drop the saved_state pieces and get back to it once I get to
the other thread (which you replied and I didn't realised until now).

Regarding the WF_LOCK_SLEEPER part. I think this works as expected.
Imagine:

CPU0						CPU1
spin_lock();
set_current_state(TASK_UNINTERRUPTIBLE);
…
spin_unlock()
 -> migrate_enable();
   -> stop_one_cpu();				<-- A)
other_func();					<-- B)
schedule();

So. With only CPU0 we enter schedule() with TASK_UNINTERRUPTIBLE because
the state gets preserved with the change I added (which is expected).
If CPU1 sends a wake_up() at A) then the saved_state gets overwritten
and we enter schedule() with TASK_RUNNING. Same happens if it is sent at
B) point which is outside of any migrate/spin lock related code. 

Was this clear or did I miss the point?
