Actually I did just now, and I think there's a similar issue in
credit2's init_pcpu(): After taking pcpu_schedule_lock(cpu) it
alters schedule_lock and hence effectively drops the locking,
yet continues to do other stuff before in fact releasing it.

What is being done prior to unlocking, however, looks to be
unrelated to the lock being held, and rather independently
(of the effective releasing) wanting &rqd->lock held.
