Why does this happen :(

a) that's a real bug. ->queue_flags requires queue_lock coverage
for the nonatomic bitops and without that we have ghastly subtle
races.

b) queue_is_locked() is wrong. On CONFIG_PREEMPT=y, CONFIG_SMP=n
kernels we *require* that preemption be disabled via
spin_lock(queue_lock) but that function fails to handle this case
correctly.

c) WARN_ON_ONCE() is pretty porky and if we want to retain those
warnings in queue_flag_test_and_clear() and
queue_flag_test_and_set() (which seems a good idea) then they should
be uninlined.
