Shutdown-time hangs in -next in locktorture

Hello, Peter,

I started hitting shutdown-time hangs in next-20251217 which persist
in next-20251219. This hang happens on both x86 and arm64. Once I
figured out that the failure is high probability, but not deterministic,
bisection converged here:

5d1f0b2f278e ("sched/core: Rework sched_class::wakeup_preempt() and rq_modified_*()")

This commit reverts cleanly, and doing so restores hang-free operation.

The reproducer is shown below.

Thoughts?

Thanx, Paul
