Subject: Re: BUG: wait_task_zombie NULL dereference

I should add that I encountered this on 3.6.0 with some mild
modifications to the scheduler path that enqueue/dequeue a task before
any of the schedule exit logic gets hit. The SCHED_FF/FIFO rebalancer
does much the same so I can't imagine that being the source of the
problem.

I could be wrong however.
