Right, thanks! It appears I only have lockdep enabled but not the
preempt warning :/

I'm taking this is (my line numbers are slightly different):

	WARN_ON_ONCE(event->pending_work);

This can happen if we get two consecutive event_sched_out() and both
instances will have pending_sigtrap set. This can happen when the event
that has sigtrap set also triggers in kernel space.

You then get task_work list corruption and *boom*.

I'm thinking the below might be the simplest solution; we can only send
a single signal after all.
