FWIW, I don't think a revert is needed here to wait for the from_tasket()
-> container_from() API to land since from_tasklet() is already being
used by other trees. Let's just get this done so we can get closer to
ripping out the old tasklet API. We'll have to do a treewide
from_timer(), from_tasklet() -> container_from() anyway...
