Oh, nice catch!

The problem is that get_cpu_idle_time() is calling vcpu_runstate_get()
for an idle vcpu. This is fragile as idle vcpus are sometimes assigned
temporarily to normal scheduling units, thus the ASSERT() in the unlock
function is failing when the assignment of the idle vcpu is modified
under the feet of vcpu_runstate_get() and the unit it has been assigned
to before is already scheduled on another cpu.

The patch is rather easy, though. Can you try it, please?
