Also, did you mean to have a preempt_enable_no_resched() rather than
prempt_enable() in raw_spin_rq_trylock?

I went over the rq_lockp stuff again after Don's reported lockup. Most
uses are safe due to already holding an rq lock. However,
double_rq_unlock() is prone to race:

double_rq_unlock(rq1, rq2):
/* Initial state: core sched enabled, and rq1 and rq2 are smt
siblings. So, double_rq_lock(rq1, rq2) only took a single rq lock */
raw_spin_rq_unlock(rq1);
/* now not holding any rq lock */
/* sched core disabled. Now __rq_lockp(rq1) != __rq_lockp(rq2), so we
falsely unlock rq2 */
if (__rq_lockp(rq1) != __rq_lockp(rq2))
raw_spin_rq_unlock(rq2);
else
__release(rq2->lock);

Instead we can cache __rq_lockp(rq1) and __rq_lockp(rq2) before
releasing the lock, in order to prevent this. FWIW I think it is
likely that Don is seeing a different issue.
