Well, if your machine crashes that way, maybe, but I haven't seen that
happen in a long while.


Pretty much everywhere, if you look at sched.c the only sched_class
method not called with rq->lock held is ::task_fork().

The interesting bits are that schedule()->pre_schedule()/idle_balance()
can drop rq->lock as well as ->select_task_rq().
