Subject: mainline boot failures III: scheduler NULL pointer reference

FYI

I see lots of boot failures on various setups with current mainline
(git8, b1721d0da266b4af8cb4419473b4ca36206ab200). Unfortunately
they are all different.

All with a defconfig kernel. Haven't investigated closely yet:

This one is a recursive oops with most of the data scrolling away
and unfortunately also no serial console handy, but it's 
a NULL pointer reference in set_next_entity somewhere in the scheduler.
