okay, here is another one, on my system, the boot up CPUs don't match the
possible cpu map, so the not onlined CPU rq->core are not initialized, which
causes NULL pointer dereference panic in online_fair_sched_group():

And here is a quick fix.

@@ -10488,7 +10493,8 @@ void online_fair_sched_group(struct task_group *tg)
        for_each_possible_cpu(i) {
                rq = cpu_rq(i);
                se = tg->se[i];
-
+               if (!rq->core)
+                       continue;
                raw_spin_lock_irq(rq_lockp(rq));
                update_rq_clock(rq);
