OK, for giggles, could you (or Balbir) check what happens if you take
that sync out?

There should be enough serialization in the generic code to cover the
case that code mentions.

ARM64 has a stronger barrier in its context switch code, but that's
because they need to sync against external agents (like their TLB and
cache) and no amount of generic locking is going to cover that.
