Well, it is because as you raised on IRC we could be holding locks and
trying to avoid deadlocks. This is the very reason irq_work gets used in

And its not a recursive run()->work()->queue() either, because as you said this
tracepoint is in arch code _after_ work_run completes.
All in all an exceedingly vexing issue.
