The schedule is not atomic.
There's still a race window here over all the CPUs where the WARN_ON could
happen because you change the global first.
Probably you would need another global that says "i'm currently changing
the mode" and then skip the WARN_ON in that window. Maybe a sequence lock.
Seems all overkill to me. Better to kill the warning.
