This should probably assert we're in a preemptible context. Otherwise
people will start using this in non-preemptible context and then we get
to unfuck things later.

Something like this ?

+       /* Should only be called from preemptible context. */
+       WARN_ON_ONCE(in_atomic());

        lockdep_assert_preemption_enabled();

that also checks local IRQ state IIRC.

I'll use this instead, thanks!
