This point (xnlock_put_irqrestore in rt_task_create) is the point where
the escalation virq is handled in Xenomai domain and xnpod_schedule
switches to the new task. So, by not clearing the stall bit, you prevent
this virq from being handled. What comes after xnlock_put_irqrestore
should be xnpod_schedule_handler in pod.c.
