        It was the old version. Please, apply everything sent from
Wensong. The old versions protect only the list which is not needed
on edit but the new versions from Wensong ensure that the service is
updated safely while there are no other CPUs using the schedulers.
By this way, after my last posting, we fix missing locking in the
following schedulers: WRR, RR, SH, DH. Now the benefit is that we
do not add locking in the fast path, instead, we add it only on
edit (slow path).
