Have not seen this warning previously and is new with this next build.

void __put_task_struct(struct task_struct *tsk)
{
        WARN_ON(!tsk->exit_state);     <<== 
        WARN_ON(refcount_read(&tsk->usage));

Since I am running into various boot failures with next tree for last week or so
am not able to bisect.

Thanks
