There is no way to wait here. The caller holds the interrupt descriptor
lock.

If this is really an issue for LPI, then the only way to deal with that
is CONFIG_GENERIC_PENDING_IRQ, which delays the affinity change to
interrupt context

Why on earth must all the known hardware mistakes be repeated over and
over?
