Yes, that's true but the added might_sleep() discovered an actual bug
here, so I still think it's better to keep it there.

If proper fix is difficult, I think doing something like if
(!in_atomic()) try_to_freeze() with big fat warning explaining what's
broken and how it should be fixed should do it for now if the proper
fix is gonna take some time. That way, we document what's broken where
it's broken and get to keep the useful debugging annotation.

Thank you.
