Doing a search on the sched_domain spans themselves should look something like
the completely untested:

Alternatively the assertion on the sched_group linking I suggested earlier
in the thread should suffice, since this should trigger whenever we have
overlapping non-NUMA sched domains.

Since you have a setup where you can reproduce the issue, could please give
either (ideally both!) a try? Thanks.
