The simplest solution might be queue_work_on(src->cpu, system_hipri_wq,
&work) plus a completion. That way we know poll_source_start/stop/run()
are not executing and there can be no re-entrancy issues. The nice thing
is it's simple - no low-level tricks.
Those are the semantics I wanted with smp_call_function_single() but I
think I chose the wrong API :).

Good idea, thanks.
