We have seen this too. And have been able to reproduce it. I did not
get a chance to fix it so far, but my understanding is that one of the
async queues was active when the cgroup was getting destroyed. We
moved it to root cgroup, but did not deactivate it; so active_entity
still points to the entity of the async queue which has now been moved
to the root cgroup. I will send an update if I can verify this, or fix
it.
