With enabled deadlock detection the following warning occurs when
connected via ssh (Dropbear server v2015.67).
With "while :; do dmesg -c; done" the problem was fast reproduceable.

System: Kernel with RT-patch applied:
Linux version 3.10.63-rt65 (gcc version 4.9.2 (iMX6) ) #1 SMP PREEMPT RT

This seems to influence the RT-behavior somehow!!!
I made a 1ms nano-sleep timer with jitter observation and the jitter
is quite huge until this warning occured.

After this warning showed up once the jitter is gone!!!

Without Full-Preemption the warning does not show up. (Tried: Desktop
/ Low-Latency desktop / Basic RT)

Please help!

CPU: Freescale i.MX6 Quad
The jitter observer is a simple kthread with prio 60 (so above IRQs)
which does hrtimer_nanosleep for 1ms and measures the elapsed time
with getrawmonotonic.
