Hmm. Ok, so the check in do_IRQ did not trigger. That means we need to
look for some other place.

Can you please apply the patch below and set CONFIG_FUNCTION_TRACER=y.
After boot please do as root:

# mount -t debugfs debugfs /sys/kernel/debug
# echo function >/sys/kernel/debug/tracing/current_tracer
# ech0 1 >/sys/kernel/debug/tracing/options/latency-format
# echo 1 >/sys/kernel/debug/tracing/tracing_enabled

Now wait until that scheduling while atomic bug triggers. This will
stop the tracer. Now

# cat /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/trace | bzip2 >/tmp/trace.bz2

Please upload trace.bz2 file to some place.

Thanks,

tglx
