Subject: [PATCH AUTOSEL 4.9 15/57] arm64: fix infinite stacktrace

From: Mikulas Patocka <mpatocka@...hat.com>

[ Upstream commit 7e7df71fd57ff2894d96abb0080922bf39460a79 ]

I've got this infinite stacktrace when debugging another problem:
[  908.795225] INFO: rcu_preempt detected stalls on CPUs/tasks:

The machine just locked up and kept on printing the same line over and
over again. This patch fixes it.
