Meh.. my machine keeps locking up with 15-rc1 and your fuzzer. It looks
to get stuck a finish_task_switch() from a preemption while waiting for
a perf IPI.

Which is complete crack because we have preemption disabled over
issueing and waiting for the IPI :/

I tried reverting some of the IPI related patches, but no joy so far,
I'm about to go try a git-bisect on this.
