My assumption is that this is a replacement for "rcu: Don't invoke
try_invoke_on_locked_down_task() with irqs disabled", right?

That seems to have the same result (same test setup) as only reverting
"rcu: Don't invoke..." does: still results in a bunch of workqueue
lockup warnings and RCU stall warnings, but boots to user space. I
attached a log. If the warnings are expected (are they?), then it looks
fine to me.

(And just in case: with "rcu: Don't invoke..." and "sched/core:
Allow..." both applied I still get DEADLOCKs -- but that's probably
expected.)

Thanks,
