With Dietmar's patch I hit the added WARN_ON_ONCE with:

next_task=[rcu_preempt 11] rq->curr=[ksoftirqd/1 21]
next_task=[rcu_preempt 11] rq->curr=[ksoftirqd/1 21]

# ps -eTo comm,pid,lwp,pri,rtprio,nice,class
...
rcu_preempt 11 11 41 1 - FF
...
ksoftirqd/1 21 21 19 - 0 TS

Out of three reproductions, rcu_preempt as next_task is consistent, but
I've seen three different tasks in rq->curr (although all with
SCHED_OTHER).

And as expected, the added early return does stop the BUG.
