Oh, wonderful :-/

So what is that thing whining about? Not being able to read a cpumask or
something?

Does your .config have cpusets enabled (there's a different
cpuset_cpus_allowed_locked implementation depending on that)?

I know of at least one remaining race and am working on closing that,
but I'm not sure I can explain this crash with that.
