I might be wrong completely, but could below two patches affect on
CPU utilization of ksoftirqd?

6047967 ksoftirqd: Use new cond_resched_rcu_qs() function
28423ad ksoftirqd: Enable IRQs and call cond_resched() before poking RCU

above two patches are not applied on -RT part of softirqs processing.

static void run_ksoftirqd(unsigned int cpu)
{
	local_irq_disable();
	current->softirq_nestcnt++;

	do_current_softirqs();
	current->softirq_nestcnt--;
	rcu_note_context_switch();

^^^ IRQs disabled
	local_irq_enable();
}
