So this seems to be this line:

WARN_ON(next_time == 0);

See https://elixir.bootlin.com/linux/v3.16.7/source/net/sched/sch_hfsc.c#L1427

Which seems to indicate that HFSC can't find the next class to schedule.
Not entirely sure why, nor why this only happens with CAKE as a qdisc.
But I don't think it's actually an infinite loop that's causing it...
