AFAIK, the warning is typically triggered on v5.13 when CPU throttling is
employeed. The cfs_rq list is mis-ordered but it shouldn't be fatal.
But the throttling currently (since v5.13 too) also exposes a race on
task_group removal that can lead to corrupting the cfs_rq list (another
thread [1], I'll leave this thread for printk (non)-locking).
