hm, the problem is kthread_bind(). It is rummaging around in scheduler
internals without holding the runqueue lock - and this now got exposed.
Even though it is operating on (supposedly ...) inactive tasks, the guts
of that function should be moved into sched.c and it should be fixed to
have proper locking.
