Yeah, I considered that too, but wanted to get your comments on this
first.

Also note that the likewise global irq_domain_mutex (and
sparse_irq_lock) are taken in some of these paths so perhaps using finer
locking won't actually matter that much as this is mostly for parallel
probing.

Yes, of course. I looked at the kernel doc for another
double-underscore-prefixed function, but those are all exported.

I'm sure we can. Should I try to fix the race first with a patch like
this one that can potentially be backported, and then see what I can do
about cleaning this up?

After all it has looked like this for the past eight years since when
this code was first merged.
