I probably botched something during the reverting - I now tried some more experiments and the system now runs without BUGs and without kernel leak - of course it needs some more uptime to be really sure.

My problems were with periodic timers (I am on an embedded system that runs things periodically anyway and I have also my doubts regarding the stability), so the latest code did not break only NO_HZ_FULL.
