Below is the output of a panic that was triggered during CPU unplug.
__enable_runtime() accessed a freed and poisoned rt_rq that it got from
for_each_rt_rq() from the task_groups list. It seems to me that there
is a race with autogroup_create(), where tg->rt_rq is freed after the
tg was already added to the task_groups list.
A possible patch is attached, which moves the tg list add behind the
tg modifiaction in autogroup_create(), but I am currently not able to
reproduce the bug to test the patch. Feedback is welcome, as I am not
really familiar with scheduling or autogroup code.
