I am getting the same issue, reliably reproducibly - though ironically only with the proprietary NVIDIA. Key repeats, screen going "No signal" for a sec, sometimes comes back, sometimes hangs the whole machine.
nv is fine, as is tty1 with or without NVIDIA.

This 2nd part (timekeeping.c) of your patch unfortunately does not apply on -rt23, but I have edited it manually to get a result.
Works ok so far.
(BTW, CONFIG_GENERIC_TIME=y).
