I have applied them now. 2/2 is a nice cleanup. But it does not apply
cleanly after the workqueue change we merged last week. I fixed it up
for you, manually applied hunk #5 and added the below diff. Please
inspect the end result. You should have rebased that patch.

Also note that you seem to have a double xchg() in there, also added
from 2/2.
