yeah, it pinpointed the bug. It seems to be an interaction between
RCU-preempt (Paul Cc:-ed) and sched_mc_power_savings_store():
detach_destroy_domains() uses synchronize_sched() which uses
getaffinity, which takes sched_hotcpu_mutex, and
arch_reinit_sched_domains does it too - see the lockdep report below.
I've added a quick workaround below as well, which should keep your box
from hanging.
