So here is what I saw

1. sched_dequeue_stack called from the dequeue path dequeues the
queues and sets rt_nr_running to 0
2. Enqueuing fails because rt_throttled is set for the group_rq
(parent who is throttled)
3. This causes further enqueue to fail, since rt_nr_running did
not increment in step 2, eventually the timer decrements rt_time
to 0 and the task is never picked up.
