Is it just about the irqsave() usage or something else? I doubt it is
the list walk. It is still unbound if not called from irq-off region.
But it is now possible, I agree. The wake_q usage should be cheaper
compared to IRQ off+on in each loop. And we wanted to do the wake ups
with enabled interrupts - there is still the list_splice() from that
attempt. Now it can be.

I still have (or need) completions which are swait based and do
complete_all(). There are complete_all() caller which wake more than one
waiter (that is PM and crypto from the reports I got once I added the
WARN_ON())).
The in-IRQ usage is !RT only and was there before.

So I need completions to be swait based and do complete_all() from IRQ
(on !RT, not RT). I have this one call which breaks the usage on !RT and
has wake_up_all() in it in vanilla which needs an swait equivalent since
it calls its callback from an rcu-sched section.
