Subject: sched/core: spinlock recursion in wake_up_new_task

Hi all,

I'm seeing the following:

BUG: spinlock recursion on CPU#2, kworker/u18:0/27
 lock: 0xffff88003f5e4d40, .magic: dead4ead, .owner: kworker/u18:0/27, .owner_cpu: 3

With the latest -next kernel. It doesn't seem to reproduce too often so
I don't have an easy way to get more details yet.
