I can also trigger the BUG_ON() using the built-in locktorture module
(+enabling hotplug torture), and it happens very early on. I can't trigger
it under qemu sadly :/ Also, in my case it's always a kworker:

[    0.830462] CPU3 nr_running=2
[    0.833443]  p=migration/3
[    0.836150]  p=kworker/3:0

I'm looking into what workqueue.c is doing about hotplug...
