Remind me again why we can't do the synchronize_srcu() here (I'm not
too familiar with the SRCU API semantics)? Is it because
synchronize_srcu() can take indefinitely long? I just vaguely remember
it does some checks during CPUs going idle (which can be a long time
later) but I'm not sure if that's the earliest you can synchronize. If
it's not indefinitely long and we just need to wait for other SRCU
critical sections to exit, maybe we can just synchronize here and make
the code a lot simpler?

This function is anyway called in a sleepable context.
