Apparently that's an allowed scenario, as the jump label code seems to
be actively trying to support it.  Basically the last one "wins".

See for example:

  1dbb6704de91 ("jump_label: Fix concurrent static_key_enable/disable()")

Also the purpose of the first atomic_read() is to do a quick test before
grabbing the jump lock.  So instead of grabbing the jump lock earlier,
it should actually do the first test atomically:
