It might actually. If two different handlers run on the same CPU
they could re-add a timer twice, which might cause loops in the timer
list etc.

Maciej, can you test Seto-san's patch please?

BTW this is probably related to

commit eea08f32adb3f97553d49a4f79a119833036000a
Author: Arun R Bharadwaj <arun@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

    timers: Logic to move non pinned timers

it might be also useful to test if reverting that patch makes
the problem go away. But with this patch we need the add_timer_on change.
