This is fundamentally wrong. The whole point of wake_up_all() is that
_all_ is unbounded and should not ever land in a single critical
section, be it IRQ or PREEMPT disabled. The above does both.

Yes, wake_up_all() is crap, it is also fundamentally incompatible with
in-*irq usage. Nothing to be done about that.

So NAK on this.
