This does not ring a bell. According to the trace your CPU took a break
after the unlock until the next interrupt. If this a fucntion trace I
would expect some functions after that.
You could try the v4.4 line as of:
 v4.4-rt2
 v4.4-rt3
 v4.4.1-rt5

to see if I introduced this somewhere by accident. However I haven't seen
this on any of my boxes.
