No it's not and unfortunately this also points out another race in
trying to use a single source ID...

The kfree can't be done until here and we also have to assume that ack
notifies are firing until here. That means that between the
mutex_unlock and the end of synchronize_rcu another resampling irqfd can
be registered, post an interrupt, and have it de-asserted by the wrong
resampler. Maybe the conversion wasn't as clean as I first thought :(

Yep. I don't know how to clean it up though; between all the different
rcu operations and locks, it's a mess. Thanks,
