This causes the -rt patch that faked out the lock status to splat; further details are at kernel.org: https://goo.gl/0fdRKR No point in anyone else having to redo the root cause research on this a second time; I've updated the above repo for this and for some other mm fallout from 4.8-rc7 in memcontrol.c so that the patches will apply for what inevitably becomes v4.8 final in a couple hours. That said, my original comments still apply -- this remains as a resource for developers who track the -rt progress, and how mainline will impact it. The release of 4.8 in mainline does not somehow change this repo into a stable/supported -rt release by osmosis. If you don't regularly manually apply and test patches, including resolving sleeping while atomic kernel backtrace dumps, you probably should not be using this.
