Public bug reported:

We have same servers already running in 5.4.0-122 , 126, 128 and 131
releases with no issues whatsoever and exceptional good performance.
They basically have either Apache/2.4.41/mod_php7.4 or
Apache/2.4.41/mpm_event with phm7.4-fpm setups, all working perfect.

When we load kernel 5.4.0-144 CPU processing go thru the roof, and
process kworker/u17:0-xprtiod show at the top. Both setups perform badly
with Apache performance going avg 200ms/req in older kernels to over
4,500ms/req in this 144 release. CPU usage from avg 0.4% to over 50%
under same traffic and requests rate.

We just reloaded old kernels back, via /etc/default/grub, and
performance is right back.  Same packages, same services, everything the
same but the Linux kernel.
