Rework the CPU selection in the migration worker to ensure the specified
number of migrations are performed when the test iteslf is affined to a
subset of CPUs. The existing logic skips iterations if the target CPU is
not in the original set of possible CPUs, which causes the test to fail
if too many iterations are skipped.
==== Test Assertion Failure ====

Only performed 4 KVM_RUNs, task stalled too much?
Calculate the min/max possible CPUs as a cheap "best effort" to avoid
high runtimes when the test is affined to a small percentage of CPUs.
Alternatively, a list or xarray of the possible CPUs could be used, but
even in a horrendously inefficient setup, such optimizations are not
needed because the runtime is completely dominated by the cost of
migrating the task, and the absolute runtime is well under a minute in
even truly absurd setups, e.g. running on a subset of vCPUs in a VM that
is heavily overcommited (16 vCPUs per pCPU).

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
