ok, could you check whether the patch below fixes the problem for you?  
(I have also put it into -rt4)

local_bh_disable()/enable() is a NOP under PREEMPT_RT, and the 
ip_ct_deliver_cached_events PER_CPU code relies on not being preempted 
by the net_rx_action softirq handler. So this is a bug in PREEMPT_RT and 
the upstream code should be fine.
