Our QE reported something like the following while testing the latest
rt-devel branch (I then could reproduce with this set applied on top of
linux-next).

It requires DEBUG_PREEMPT and LOCKDEP enabled, sched_rt_runtime_us = -1
and a while(1) loop running at FIFO for some time (I also set sysctl
kernel.hung_task_timeout_secs=1 to speed up reproduction).

Looks like check_hung_uninterruptible_tasks() requires some care as you
did already in linux-next for panic, rcu and lockdep ("Make emergency
sections ...")?

Thanks,
Juri
