That probably doesn't go far enough - if legacy one is active then we
probably shouldn't allow a new MULTI one either (or abandon the legacy
one) so that older userspace doesn't get confused with multiple
notifications from sched scans it didn't start.

Do we really want to do the double-accounting, just to avoid counting
the list length here?

> +	/* leave request id zero for legacy request */

why? The ID would be ignored, so why special-case it?

That's bogus - either you use kfree_rcu() or synchronize_rcu() (the
former is much better); combining both makes no sense.

Ok, fair enough.
