I am sorry but I don't understand what you said. I checked the comment in 
__set_task_cpu().

        /*
         * After ->cpu is set up to a new value, task_rq_lock(p, ...) can be
         * successfuly executed on another CPU. We must ensure that updates of
         * per-task data have been completed by this moment.
         */

Of course, ->cpu should be set up to a new value for task_rq_lock() to be
executed successfully on another CPU. Is this the case? Is there something
i missed? I think it would be ok if task->pi_lock can work correctly within
"if" statement in set_task_cpu(). Is there problem to do that?
