Sorry for being late, was on holiday. Yes, you were right,
CONFIG_DEBUG_PREEMPT (after breaking dependency on CONFIG_PREEMPT -
this is how I caught the exact place) and CONFIG_DEBUG_ATOMIC_SLEEP was
enabled due to bug hunting in own code (and found yet another at an
unexpected place). 
I have chosen #ifdef CONFIG_PREEMPT to match with assembly code, but
your solution seems more reasonable.

Regards,
Patrik
