FYI, adapting (but then I haven't even compiled) the first two patches
to as far as 4.7 was rather easy.

And, modulo the fact that I still have to properly review them (which
I'll do... but I looked at them, and they seem fine), I do prefer the
series, to the Credit1 migrate callback.

*Especially* if you are right, and the invariant is entirely Credit1
specific. In fact, that means here might be other code paths, in
sched_credit.c, that relies on it, and hence I'd prefer for it to be
enforced better, rather than relaxed, at this point in the cycle.

Regards,
Dario
