Since the page is obtained in a fully preemptible context, dropping
the lock can lead to migration onto another CPU. As a result a prev.
bnode of that CPU may be underutilised, because a decision has been
made for a CPU that was run out of free slots to store a pointer.
migrate_disable/enable() are now independent of RT, use it in order
to prevent any migration during a page request for a specific CPU it
is requested for.
