Probably RCU unrelated.

I have temporarily removed the current timers/urgent lineup from -tip:

 098991fccfc7: nohz: Print more debug info in tick_nohz_stop_sched_tick()
 22aa2ad45fd8: tick: Make sure tick timer is active when bypassing reprogramming
 d58bd60c773d: nohz: Fix again collision between tick and other hrtimers

... and have reintegrated tip:master, so it should be back to working I think.

Does this solve the warning and the RCU stalls on your boxes?

Thanks,
