I'm going to second Andrew's observed results here. With the original
reproducer of calling LTP pty03 && pty06 in a while loop, plus invoking
stress-ng with --timeout 60000s && --numa 64, there were no problems with the
nbcon thread migrating NUMA nodes and no panic(s) with 
kernel.softlockup_panic = 1

This was observed on an nproc == 128 machine.

Thanks! :-)
