The handling of sysrq keys should normally be done in an user context
except when MAGIC_SYSRQ_SERIAL is set and the magic sequence is typed
in a serial console.
Currently in print_cpu() of kernel/sched/debug.c, sched_debug_lock is taken
with interrupt disabled for the whole duration of the calls to print_*_stats()
and print_rq() which could last for the quite some time if the information dump
happens on the serial console.
If the system has many cpus and the sched_debug_lock is somehow busy
(e.g. parallel sysrq-t), the system may hit a hard lockup panic, like

The purpose of sched_debug_lock is to serialize the use of the global
cgroup_path[] buffer in print_cpu(). The rests of the printk() calls
don't need serialization from sched_debug_lock.
Calling printk() with interrupt disabled can still be
problematic. Allocating a stack buffer of PATH_MAX bytes is not
feasible. So a compromised solution is used where a small stack buffer
is allocated for pathname. If the actual pathname is short enough, it
is copied to the stack buffer with sched_debug_lock release afterward
before printk(). Otherwise, the global group_path[] buffer will be
used with sched_debug_lock held until after printk().
