I've audited all places where this field is accessed, and I think we're
covered by the panthor_scheduler::lock. The only place where this is
not the case is group_term_post_processing(), and I believe the
fatal_queues value is frozen at this point (can't be updated by IRQ
logic because the group has left its CSG slot).
