I've took this RT version and applied "[RT] kernel/time/posix-timer: avoid schedule()
while holding the RCU lock" [1] on top. Then I run below tests:

##  stress-ng --class os --all 0 -t 5m
- and -
## stress-ng --class cpu --all 0 -t 5m &   stress-ng --class memory --all 0 --vm-bytes 90% -t 5m

no stall or crashes were observed, but I've caught two "rcu_note_context_switch()" warnings
