There is actually already a patch out for this which simply hasn't made
it upstream yet - Mike Galbraith emailed me with it and it indeed fixes
the problem. I hadn't realized his email didn't go to lkml.. otherwise
I would have echoed that here to avoid wasting people's time. My apologies.
Cheers,

Here is his message:
From: efault@gmx.de
Peter's fix didn't make it up-stream.
Subject: sched: fix oops
sched_debug uses SEQ_printf to use printk when the seqfile 'm' is NULL.
Instead of doing that here too; choose to not output the weight tree
to cut back on output.
