I'm in favor of the guard(mutex)(&smne_mutex); syntax, but this
is a mutex_lock_killable() for which that does not work AFAIK.

So in this case AFAICT we would need to use the cleanup stuff manually
and in that case I believe that in that case just sticking with
the current code is better.

TBH I don't see any added value in adding that.

AFAIK the way the precision is used in the current code limits things to at max the boundary,
stopping earlier if a 0 is encountered earlier.
