This can't possibly be right ... you're locking the list_empty which is
a trivial pointer comparison, but not the actual list_entry() ...

I'd also prefer you actually didn't leave the problem in part as you
describe - and a new workqueue probably isn't that much overhead and
should introduce *less* new code than this, so IMHO that's worth it.
