No, this isn't the WARN_ON().

Actually, not quite. That's why I have verified it and found that another
patch is really responsible for the issue, namely:

commit 82a1fcb90287052aabfa235e7ffc693ea003fe69
Author: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu>
Date: Fri Jan 25 21:08:02 2008 +0100

softlockup: automatically detect hung TASK_UNINTERRUPTIBLE tasks

Reverting this commit (it reverts with some minor modifications) fixes the
problem for me.

Thanks,
Rafael
