Right. That's caused by this:

> WARNING: CPU: 3 PID: 1146 at lib/timerqueue.c:55 timerqueue_del+0xfe/0x150 lib/timerqueue.c:55

         WARN_ON_ONCE(RB_EMPTY_NODE(&node->node));

The warning is inside the hrtimer base lock held region which is known
to be problematic vs. printk...

IOW, this tries to remove a hrtimer which is not queued, but has
hrtimer::state != HRTIMER_STATE_INACTIVE.

This means the timer is either not initialized or got corrupted.

The circular locking problem is the fallout which cannot be solved due
to the current printk semantics. The upcoming atomic consoles should
handle this nicely.
