Nit: this line should probably be wrapped to 80 columns.

Other than that, I've tested this on metag and can confirm that it fixes
the following BUG which you would otherwise get during boot with Aaron's
patches:

BUG: failure at kernel/sched/core.c:2664/schedule_debug()!
Kernel panic - not syncing: BUG!

Tested-by: James Hogan <james.hogan@xxxxxxxxxx> [metag]
Acked-by: James Hogan <james.hogan@xxxxxxxxxx>

Aaron: please can you try to get this patch applied before your patch
series.

Thanks
James
