Subject: double clock sched_features warnings msgs

Hi Peter,

A QA tester here has noticed that he can regularly provoke a
"rq->clock_update_flags & RQCF_UPDATED" warning when echo'ing into the
debugfs sched_features file:

% echo WARN_DOUBLE_CLOCK > /sys/kernel/debug/sched_features

...

WARN_DOUBLE_CLOCK's definition in kernel/sched/features.h states that it
is "Default disabled because the annotations are not complete".  Should
we expect such warnings (false positives?) until some further work is
complete?  Just trying to figure out if these msgs are interesting or not.

Thanks,

-- Joe
