Now that I actually understood the problem, I was able to write a
reproducer which triggers the issue 100% reliable.
The debug patch does cure it and it does the right thing. I have a
better version of that in testing right now which avoid all that flaky
accounting and especially in the vfork() case the full tasklist walk.
I'll send out a complete patch series with changelogs etc. later.
Thanks a lot for your patience and invaluable help. Very appreciated!
