Those patches are already in 4.19-rt - he's saying that reverting them
fixes the problem.
I'm guessing that the assumption of base or base->cpu_base always being
non-NULL in those patches might be wrong. If so, the below patch
should fix the problem:
Subject: [PATCH] hrtimer: Add back base and base->cpu_base checks in
hrtimer_grab_expiry_lock()
4.19 commit b1a471ec4df1 [hrtimer: Prevent using
hrtimer_grab_expiry_lock() on migration_base] removed the NULL checks
for timer->base and timer->base->cpu_base on the assumption that
they're always non-NULL. That assumption is apparently not to be
true, so add the checks back.
