Can it actually happen that jump_label_rate_limit is called multiple
times?  If so, this hunk alone would be a separate bugfix.  I don't
think all the concurrency that you're protecting against can actually
happen, but in any case I'd just take the jump_label_lock() instead of
using atomics.

It's also not necessary to use a new field, since you can just check
key->timeout.

All this gives something like this for static_key_rate_limit_flush:

        if (key->timeout) {
		jump_label_lock();
		if (key->enabled) {
			jump_label_unlock();
			flush_delayed_work(&dkey->work);
		} else
			jump_label_unlock();
	}
