Using Steve's test program (https://lkml.org/lkml/2018/8/24/686) I see the
issue but only if the two tasks (rt_task, fair_task) run on 2 cpus which
don't share LLC (e.g. CPU0 and CPU4 on hikey960).

So the wakeup goes the TTWU_QUEUE && !share_cache (ttwu_queue_remote) path.

It doesn't happen on hikey960 when I use two cpus of the same LLC or on my
laptop (i7-4750HQ).
