This can be reproduced by running rt-migrate-test:

We utilize balance callbacks to delay the load-balancing operations
{rt,dl}*{push,pull} until we've done all the important work. The
push/pull operations can unlock/lock the current rq for safety acquires
the src's and dest's rq->locks in a fair way. It's safe to drop the
rq lock here, utilize raw_spin_lock_irqsave() as before to avoid the
splat.

v1 -> v2:
* utilize raw_spin_lock_irqsave() instead of pinning/unpinning.
