Hmm. You have load_balance() and idle_balance() there in the trace, so
I'm getting more hopeful that it really is just the fact that
set_cpu_sd_state_idle() really needs to just be run with interrupts
disabled. That was my main concern about that merge, so if it's that,
I'll be relieved.

If you can please try that change out, that would be great.
