This pattern of "unlock, do something, re-lock" strikes me as odd --
here and in the setup function.

There seem to be a few assumptions for this to work:
a) SRCU read-side critical sections must not be nested.
b) We must not keep any pointer to a SRCU protected structure
   across a call to this function.

Can we guarantee these assumptions? Now and in the future (given that this is already
a bit hidden in the call stack)?

(And if we can guarantee them, why are we holding the SRCU lock in the first place?)

Or is there maybe a nicer way to do this?
