No, they aren't. The ancestors of a css are guaranteed to stay around
until css_free is called on the css and that's the only ordering

Yeah, it's hairy. I wondered about adding support for bouncing to
workqueue in both percpu_ref and rcu which would make things easier to
follow. Not sure how often this pattern happens tho.

Hmmm... css_free would be with the following patch.
