Here is the combined patch. I've tested it only briefly, and I am
unsure of whether it still produces lockdep warnings for Daniel or
not. I wish it would not be applied anywhere unless it was
officially Reviewed-by: someone. In particular, I'm not quite
steady with the irq-safe locking (Thomas might want to have a look).
Thanks :)

We fix it by moving the actual freeing to outside the lock (the lock
now only protects the list).
The lock is also promoted to irq-safe (suggested by Dan).
