You are assuming wrong, the CPU utilization measures the activity of the
linux kernel as a whole, including its idle task. So, the sum of all the
primary mode tasks and of the ROOT task is always 100%.

rt_printf is a primary mode service which causes activity in secondary
mode: the actual printf is done by a plain linux task.
