Does this work if we get a __perf_event_enable() IPI as described in
the commit message of the patch I sent? I.e. it does a sched-out
immediately followed by a sched-in aka resched; presumably in that
case it should still have the irq_work on the same CPU, but the
task_work will be a noop?

This probably should not queue an irq_work if pending_sigtrap, given
it just doesn't work. It probably should just ignore?
