The loop only spins while the target cpu never runs balance_one(), and
the ext class has DL-server forward progress, so it gets cpu time and
drains the node even under saturating RT/DL load. A class receiving zero
runtime forever (RT throttling fully disabled plus a spinning FIFO task)
is a pre-existing system-level failure that breaks far more than this
teardown path. No change.

Thanks.
