The previous patch added this function, and calls it with smp_call_on_cpu(),
where it'll run in IRQ context with IRQs disabled...

smp_call_on_cpu() puts the work to the bind-cpu worker.

And this function will be called in task context, and IRQs is certainly enabled.

That doesn't make much sense to me.
