That's the 'where we took #2 while holding #1' stacktrace and not
relevant to our discussion.

This then shows we now have:

	rq->lock
	  zone->lock.rlock
	    batched_entropy_u64.lock

Which, to me, appears to be distinctly different from the last time,
which was:

	rq->lock
	  batched_entropy_u32.lock

Notable: "u32" != "u64".

But #3 has:

> [24438.676535][    T2]        init_idle+0xb4/0x3c0

Which seems to suggest you didn't actually apply the patch; or rather,
if you did, i'm not immediately seeing where #2 is acquired.
