Not sure. Probably the combination of reproduction has happened now. The
following three conditions are needed for the warning to appear:
* Enable CONFIG_DEBUG_PREEMPT
* Arch which doesn't define arch_trigger_all_cpu_backtrace such as arm64
* Trigger showallcpu's stack sysrq

The sysrq_showallcpus work prints stack traces on all CPUs other than the
current CPU. So we are re-enabling preemption after scheduling work from
current CPU. So that it doesn't get changed.
