What if reduce number of lines with something as the following:

    int this_cpu = get_cpu();
    subclass = __this_cpu_inc_return(wakeup_nest);
    spin_lock_irqsave_nested(&wq->lock, flags, subclass);
    wake_up_locked_poll(wq, POLLIN);
    spin_unlock_irqrestore(&wq->lock, flags);
    __this_cpu_dec(wakeup_nest);
    put_cpu();

Other than that looks good to me.
