Can you describe the race in a few more details here ("sometimes" sounds
like "I don't know when" :) )?

Does the reordering matter? Do we need barriers?

Here we lost NMIs in the past by overwriting nmi_pending while another
one was already queued, right?

Is nmi_pending && !nmi_in_progress possible at all? Is it rather a BUG
condition? If not, what will happen next?

Is it OK that NMIs injected after the collapse will increment this to >
1 again? Or is that impossible?
