The recent commit: 90b5363a ("sched: Clean up scheduler_ipi()") got smp_call_function_single_async() subtly wrong. Even though it will return -EBUSY when trying to re-use a csd, that condition is not atomic and still requires external serialization. The change in ttwu_queue_remote() got this wrong. While on first reading ttwu_queue_remote() has an atomic test-and-set that appears to serialize the use, the matching 'release' is not in the right place to actually guarantee this serialization. The actual race is vs the sched_ttwu_pending() call in the idle loop; that can run the wakeup-list without consuming the CSD. Instead of trying to chain the lists, merge them.
