The trace indicates the CPU is idling, so certainly this is a bogus
softlockup warning. I guess we already knew that. ;-)

Probably worth instrumenting the warning message to print jiffies and
timestamp. Also the timestamp values for all other CPUs and see how much
they vary. We want to find out if one CPU is cimply lagging in touching the
softlockup watchdog, or if perhaps jiffies is updating in big jumps.

Given that this is so repro'able for you, it's weird noone else has reported
it.
