While trying to test the new prctl() code I'm working on, I ran into a bug I chased back into this v10 code. Under a 
fair amount of stress, when the function __sched_core_update_cookie() is ultimately called from sched_core_fork(), the 
system deadlocks or otherwise non-visibly crashes. I've not had much success figuring out why/what. I'm running with 
LOCKDEP on and seeing no complaints. Duplicating it only requires setting a cookie on a task and forking a bunch of 
threads ... all of which then want to update their cookie.
