I think it would be nice to also add the RCU usage here, as for the 
function being declared but not used.

IIUC we have a single atomic counter for the whole system, which is 
modified in csd_lock_wait_toolong() and read in RCU stall warning.

I think it should not be an issue regarding cache bouncing because in worst 
case scenario we would have 2 modify / cpu each csd_lock_timeout (which is 
5 seconds by default).

Thanks!
