Thank you!

I have fired up tests on the "BROKEN?" commit.  If that fails, I will
try its predecessor, and if that fails, I wlll bisect from e28b5f8bda01
("sched/fair: Assert {set_next,put_prev}_entity() are properly balanced"),
which has stood up to heavy hammering in earlier testing.

							Thanx, Paul
