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.
