I should clarify that I didn't actually reproduce the issue on v5.15; I just saw
that the call chain leading to the deadlock still existed in v5.15 after looking
through the code.
Failing the SCHED_WARN_ON(rq->tmp_alone_branch != &rq->leaf_cfs_rq_list); assert
is extremely rare in my experience, and I don't have a reproducer. It has only
happened once after months of heavy usage (with lots of reboots too, so not with
crazy high uptime).
