Using ftrace I can make sure that we are triggering the logic that is
responsible for the dead lock to happen (in a frequent basis) but until
now without the success of making it to happen.

root@ttwcnuma:~# trace-cmd report | grep stop_two_cpus | wc -l 
475 

Meaning that I caused a task to be migrated between NUMA domains 475
times in less the 3 seconds.
