This explicitly only lists kernel threads; from your other comment:

I'll assume you actually inspected the other tasks and found none.

The 'migration' threads only look like FIFO threads but they're secretly
not and don't count to the limit. The watchdog threads shouldn't run
much either.

Oh a threaded interrupt, I presume you're not using "threadiqrs" since
this is the only interrupt thread around and I see a
'request_threaded_irq()' call in
drivers/net/wireless/iwlwifi/pcie/trans.c

And wow, why would that thing consume that much cpu. 

Johill, ever seen the iwlwifi interrupt go 'funny' and consume gobs of
cpu-time?

Would something like: 

  sched: [ONCE] RT throttle hit -- inspect system configuration.

Be a better message?

Also, could you clarify what exact kernel version you're running? I
couldn't find it in your previous messages.
