SCHED_RR tasks alternately running on on cpu can cause endless deferral of
kworker threads. With the global effect of the OS processing reserved
it may be the case that the processor we are executing never gets any
time. And if that kworker threads role is releasing a mutex (like the
cgroup_lock) then deadlocks can result.
