Chen Yu made me realize [1] that dequeue_task() really isn't enough; the
dequeue_task() in e.g. __sched_setscheduler() won't have DEQUEUE_DELAYED,
so stuff will just be left on the CFS tree.

Worse, what we need here is the __block_task() like we have at the end of
dequeue_entities(), otherwise p stays ->on_rq and that's borked - AFAICT
that explains the splat you're getting, because affine_move_task() ends up
doing a move_queued_task() for what really is a dequeued task.

I unfortunately couldn't reproduce the issue locally using your TREE03
invocation. I've pushed a new patch on top of my branch, would you mind
giving it a spin? It's a bit sketchy but should at least be going in the
right direction...
