Yes, that was my wrong assumption that all drivers disable irqs before
waking up a wait queue.  Of course for drivers like fuse this is not
a case. Thanks for reporting.

The fix is simple: just remove wrong assert line :)  The whole logic
stays correct: epoll always locks rwlock with irqs disabled and by
itself does not call from interrupt, thus it is up to driver how to
call wake_up_locked(), because if driver does not handle any interrupts
it is safe on its side to take a simple spin_lock.
