Dug it out of shell history on the test box. It was the workload from
b7b3b2dbae73 ("sched_ext: Split the global DSQ per NUMA node"):

  stress-ng --race-sched 1024
  stress-ng --workload 80 --workload-threads 10

Run both in parallel on a 2x EPYC 7642 while flipping a SCX scheduler on
and off in a loop and the live-lock reproduced reliably.

Thanks.
