IIUC this can happen if e.g. a CPU is busy updating load in
update_blocked_averages() while another enters update_nohz_stats() for the
same rq. They'll be serialized by the RQ lock, but both can still enter
update_blocked_averages() at roughly the same time.

Shouldn't then the rq->last_blocked_load_update_tick check be either
deferred to or re-done within update_blocked_averages(), with the rq lock
held?
