This appears to be consistently true, I've also found that in between
these two prints, there is a free_sched_group() freeing that exact
entry. So post-print is a use-after-free artifact.

What's interesting is that its freeing a cfs_rq struct with
nr_running=1, that should not be possible...

/me goes stare at the whole cgroup task attach vs cgroup destruction
muck.
