I think this was already fixed (correctly, unlike the above patch which is very
broken) by the following commit:

	commit 353f7988dd8413c47718f7ca79c030b6fb62cfe5
	Author: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>
	Date:   Tue Jul 19 11:09:01 2022 -0700

	    watchqueue: make sure to serialize 'wqueue->defunct' properly
