Note that if it *is* the same bug as #1713751, that reporter already
mentioned that using mainline kernels (and he was hitting this on 4.10)
fixed it for him, so it seems more plausible not that 4.14 has a fix,
but that Ubuntu's sauce has the breakage.  Of course, they may well not
be the same bug, cause the symptom itself is pretty generic.

Bug description:
  This is impacting us for ubuntu autopkgtests. Eventually the whole
  region ends up dying because each worker is hit by this bug in turn
  and backs off until the next reset (6 hourly).

  17.10 (and bionic) guests are sometimes failing to reboot. When this
  happens, you see the following in the console

    [[0;32m  OK  [0m] Reached target Shutdown.
    [  191.698969] watchdog: BUG: soft lockup - CPU#0 stuck for 22s! [systemd:1]
    [  219.698438] watchdog: BUG: soft lockup - CPU#0 stuck for 22s! [systemd:1]

f0x2 RCU_GP_WAIT_FQS(3) ->state=0x0

  One host that exhibits this behaviour was:

    Linux klock 4.4.0-98-generic #121-Ubuntu SMP Tue Oct 10 14:24:03 UTC
  2017 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux

  guest running:

    Linux version 4.13.0-16-generic (buildd@lcy01-02) (gcc version 7.2.0
  (Ubuntu 7.2.0-8ubuntu2)) #19-Ubuntu SMP Wed Oct 11 18:35:14 UTC 2017
  (Ubuntu 4.13.0-16.19-generic 4.13.4)

  The affected cloud region is running the xenial/Ocata cloud archive,
  so the version of qemu-kvm in there may also be relevant.

  Here's how I reproduced it in lcy01:

    $ for n in {1..30}; do nova boot --flavor m1.small --image 
ubuntu/ubuntu-artful-17.10-amd64-server-20171026.1-disk1.img --key-name 
testbed-`hostname` --nic net-name=net_ues_proposed_migration laney-test${n}; 
done
    $ <ssh to each instance> sudo reboot
    # wait a minute or so for the instances to all reboot
    $ for n in {1..30}; do echo "=== ${n} ==="; nova console-log laney-test${n} 
| tail; done

  On bad instances you'll see the "soft lockup" message - on good it'll
  reboot as normal.

  We've seen good and bad instances on multiple compute hosts - it
  doesn't feel to me like a host problem but rather a race condition
  somewhere that's somehow either triggered or triggered much more often
  by what lcy01 is running. I always saw this on the first reboot -
  never on first boot, and never on n>1th boot. (But if it's a race then
  that might not mean much.)

  I'll attach a bad and a good console-log for reference.

  If you're at Canonical then see internal rt #107135 for some other
  details.
