Full dmesg output below.

I also tested whether it's the call to synchronize_sched() before or after
secondary CPU bringup that hangs.

        if (force_change && num_online_cpus() <= 1)
                synchronize_sched();

boots.

        if (force_change && num_online_cpus() > 1)
                synchronize_sched();

hangs.
