So this looks like its stuck in the retry loop in perf_install_in_context(). We do the raw_spin_unlock_irq(), which allows the above watchdog interrupt to happen, but make no progress.
This means the task_function_call() thing keeps failing, which is extremely unlikely.
Let me have a play with your test-case to see if it reproduces.
