First I had crashed what I bisected down to de966cf4a4fa ("sched/x86: Change
CONFIG_SCHED_ITMT to CONFIG_SCHED_MC_PRIO") because it made SCHED_ITMT the
default.
Then I run another bisect round and got here with the same backtrace:

The patch attached fixes it. Could someone who looked longer at the code
than I actually confirm that this fine or fix it differently? This makes
the crash on boot on a "default" kvm setup go away.
