I cannot immediately see how adding a synchronize_rcu() to
wakeup_source_add() would help anything.  You only need to wait for a
grace period on removal, not (normally) on addition.  The single grace
period during removal will catch up all other asynchronous RCU grace
period requests on that CPU.

Or am I missing your point?
